It may not be the best on the
subject but it certainly was a heart warming experience for us. Worked big time
like a time machine and sent us back by 7 years when we were expecting our
daughter. We smiled, laughed, agreed, disagreed and enjoyed those moments lived
on screen with a couple of our own favorite actors. I wasn't looking forward to
this one after reading quite a few negative reviews but still couldn't resist
the movie with Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Brooklyn Decker (Battleship), Chris
Rock and Dennis Quaid. Also, it is full of cameos from a lot of other lesser
known celebrities from TV and stuff. As a parent of a 6 year old kid – it was
all been there done that stuff for us but can be a great learning experience
and eye opener for would be parents. A funny take on how life changes but for
good once you become a parent or on the verge of becoming one. It was a great
time pass and a fundoo one time watch for sure.

The Movie: As the name suggests –
story revolves around the lives of 5 couple expecting their first babies. They
are all related to each in one way or the other and its hilarious to see the
situations change so fast and how it all ends – its quite comically timed. Our
favorite will always be the story of Jennifer Lopez as Holly the photographer
with a husband in music business and her emotional story, since she couldn't
conceive in normal circumstances. They have no option but to adopt a kid and
even to do that – they have to prepare themselves for the baby's arrival with
new house etc. The second best was obviously Cameron Diaz as a celebrity dance
show contestant and a host of a fitness weight loss show with her husband. I
guess Cameron is a good dance and she always looks forward to a dance item in
all her movies – here too it starts with a small dance number from her and its
hilarious to see how it ends. The third great one was Elizabeth Banks who was
Wendy Cooper wife of Gary
played by Ben Falcone. As they break their story of expecting a baby to his
father – they get shocking news that even his father played by my favorite
Dennis Quaid and his wife hottie Brooklyn Decker too were expecting their first
kid. The father and son relationship is too good and their scenes are one of
the high points of the movie. Super Rich dad with a mansion and a golf course
of his own, simply superb, Dennis Quaid at his hilarious best.

The Gang of Guys: Walking in the
part with their babies in the strollers is too good. I mean it's amazing to see
how life changes for a couple after marriage first and then after they become
parents. How every one adjusts into their new roles without panicking and you
see every new guy who is yet to be a parent having those panic attacks. It
reminded us of our own memories not so long ago when one fine Sunday morning my
wife broke the news that she was pregnant. I can never forget the way I reacted
“What??? Are you serious? How could that be? I mean, are you sure???” It was great
news yet we weren’t expecting it that sooner and we are way too glad today to
have a baby like the one that we have, it’s a blessed feeling to have a kid at
the end of the day. All the couples have their own ups and downs too like the
way Jennifer loses her contract because of cost cutting and goes job less. Cameron
Diaz’s husband couldn’t continue his dance show anymore because she is alone at
home and he needs to be there with her, the way he sacrifices his positions by
faking a fall on the dance floor, is totally awesome. There is another story of
a young couple, the girl becomes pregnant right after a one night stand with a
guy and they part ways because of confusion, although she loses the baby too,
yet she loves the guy and looks forward to be with him, how their story moves
and ends is heart warming. We found the movie pretty good than an average fare,
it was hilarious in parts but all in all a nice one time watch for sure.
