    What to Expect When You're Expecting


    "She's like a magical pregnancy unicorn."

    Five couples have nine months to prepare to be first time parents:

    -Jules (Diaz), a weight-loss trainer, and Evan (Morrison), a professional dancer, try to bring their baby into the world, without slowing down their busy lives.
    -Women's pregnancy author Wendy (Banks) and her foodie husband Gary (Falcone) are excited to finally be pregnant
    -Retired racecar driver Ramsey (Quaid) and his much younger, trophy wife Skyler (Decker) are expecting twins
    -Photographer Holly (Lopez) and her producer husband Alex (Santoro) are trying to adopt, even though he doesn't feel ready
    -Rival food truck owners Rosie (Kendrick) and Marco (Crawford) have a one-night stand and unexpected consequences


    The trailer for the film looked ok, but I assumed it was one of those comedies that shows all the funny moments in the trailer.  So I never really planned to see the film... but many of my friends saw the film and loved it, so I added it to my Netflix queue, and was pleasantly surprised.

    Elizabeth Banks steals the show as Wendy, who gets more than she expected.  She has great chemistry with Ben Falcone, and has several funny conversations with Rebel Wilson.  Brooklyn Decker doesn't get to do much, but she has many funny moments.  The "Guys Group" is funnier than I expected... Chris Rock, Rob Huebel, Thomas Lennon, and Amir Talai are great together. They have strong chemistry, and the cute kids help.

    A solid ensemble comedy.
