    Cheesy....Chick-flick

    Good thing I Like Cheesy Chick-flicks....but if your are not a chick-flick person DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!....But on the other hand if you do...this movie is cute, funny and has many great actors and actresses that i really like...The Dude Group is Hilarious...If you have Kids you will relate to many of the things that happens in here...It's all about Baby Delivery and everything that come's with it....OBVIOUSLY the Title says it all.

    For the Moms... this movie is funny..I guarantee you will relate to at least one couple in this film.

    for mom's to be... This movie is nice to watch and wont traumatize you in anyway.

    BTW...Joe Manganiello is shirtless in many of the scenes in this film...YAY!!!
