Labor Pains (2009)
5/10
Not Joan Jett enough.....
4 October 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Thea is the secretary of arrogant publisher Jerry. When he tries to fire her for bad mouthing him, Thea lies and tells him that she is four-months pregnant.

Thea lost her parents in a car accident and raises her sister Emma, so she cannot afford to lose her job.

Jerry goes on vacation, and his brother Nick assumes his position.

She decides to fake her pregnancy for more time than necessary though, and Nick has taken a shine to her.....

First off, it's a high concept movie, that would have been huge in the early nineties if it starred Meg Ryan. It's nothing we haven't seen before, with tropes galore and the inevitable love sub plot.

But it's watchable enough, Lohan proves that she has charisma, just bad life choices, and the rest of the cast are amiable enough.

Don't expect too much from the movie, and you'll enjoy it for what it is, pointless fluff...
