Movie: What To Expect When You're Expecting (2012)

Rating: F

I suppose I know what the director Kirk Jones was trying to do. But What to Expect when You're Expecting is the perfect example of what happens when you try too hard to do too much. And in this case, trying to cover every single possible outcome of how a pregnancy might turn out into a single movie.



This movie fails at every turn. The characters are weak, the script is forced, the jokes seem canned, and the interplay between the characters isn't believable at all. Babies take 9 months to be born. It seriously felt like this movie took 9 months to watch.

Despite the fact that Elizabeth Banks seems to be in every other movie and in every single genre this year, this particular performance was just empty. Her's should have been the most compelling story in this whole movie, and yet I wanted to gouge my eyes out every time she was on the screen.

Quite honestly, the only saving grace to this movie was Anna Kendrick for no reason other than the fact that I thought she looked entirely too cute. haha.

~Cheers.
