What to Expect When You're Expecting

RomanceComedyDrama

Directed by Kirk Jones

Two celebrities are unprepared for the surprise demands of pregnancy; hormones wreak havoc on a baby-crazy author, while her husband tries not to be outdone by his father, who's expecting twins with his young trophy wife; a photographer's husband isn't sure about his wife's adoption plans; a one-time hook-up results in a surprise… From TMDB

    Another to consider, since these students are Atlanta based. What to Expect When You're Expecting is not a good movie, but it captures 2006ish Midtown Atlanta really, really well.

    What to Expect When You're Expecting - Kaylie The ending of this is fucking brilliant, but in general this one moves fast without feeling rushed and tells a pretty interesting story about a religious school girl that got knocked up and her loyal friend. 9/10

    I place the blame pretty much on the parents. What To Expect When You're Expecting is the pregnancy handbook. It explains all this in easy terms. They don't want to read books or listen to facts. Negligent homicide

    Yeah. It would've helped me navigate the feelings of being sexually harassed a little bit better but alas, they weren't willing to divulge in those things. I had to read 'Sex for Dummies' and 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' to get my sex literacy 😭😭

    Where is Chace Crawford these days? Loved him in Gossip Girl. He & Anna Kendrick were the best story in "What to Expect, When You're Expecting". The "Boys" was okay but is Chace in anything new (movie/series) on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu? #chaceisahottie

    Decent watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend unless you're pregnant (or part of a couple with pregnancy). It's one of those movies where it is 4-5 stories that barely (if at all) overlap, but have some thematic connection to one another. I honestly think it's a great way to use celebrities to comprehensively cover the contents of the book of the same name. This is (clearly) targeted at pregnant women and expecting parents, and I think it does a good job of that. I don't think…
