| Review For What to Expect When You're Expecting  | 
| Technically the genre isn't beneath contempt. But this movie is. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
 
 Babies are cute and expectant parents often aren't. That kind of sums up What to Expect When You're Expecting.
 Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
 
 Director Kirk Jones and screenwriters Shauna Cross and Heather Hach consistently fall back on corny music and slow-motion to try to get laughs. Very little of this movie feels risky, or even frisky.
 Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
 
 Patently contrived to deliver the safer side of pregnancy-related humor over the course of five tidily intersecting plot lines.
 William Goss-Film.com
 
 Remember when advice books stayed on the shelves where they belonged?
 Connie Ogle-Miami Herald
 
 It's a sitcom-y ensemble film (complete with product placement) that feels like you're flipping around the TV dial.
 Jennie Punter-Globe and Mail
 
 The charismatic cast (particularly Banks and Lopez) manage to find the humanity in their clichéd roles but they can't transcend all the surface-level schmaltz on display here.
 Cara Nash-FILMINK (Australia)
 
 Provides good chuckles and heartfelt drama - paired with an equal amount of familiar gags and flat story ideas.
 Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant
 
 What To Expect When You're Expecting delivers a stale plot, mostly underwritten characters and almost no joy. Expect little and you may not be entirely disappointed.
 Kristal Cooper-We Got This Covered
 
 The highs, lows, unexpected joys and totally expected pains of pregnancy get a comprehensive going over in this consistently funny, warm-hearted ensemble comedy.
 Jim Schembri-3AW
 
 Too bad you can't watch What to Expect When You're Expecting the way most people read the best-selling self-help book: by skipping the unnecessary bits and diving into the important stuff.
 Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune
 
 A dirty diaper bag of sex jokes, sentimental mush, cartoonish claptrap and weary parent-to-be cliches.
 Neil Pond-American Profile
 
 Those who don't have children would find it rather agonising, while those who do might not wish to pay a babysitter for the pleasure of seeing a film about nappies and epidurals.
 Jenny McCartney-Daily Telegraph
 
 I wasn't expecting how warmly I'd feel towards the characters by the end of the movie - and I certainly wasn't expecting to tear up a little bit during one of the couple's denouements. How in hell did that happen?
 CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
 
 Appears at first to be a superficial appetizer with little on its mind beyond cliché and predictable formula...but some genuine tenderness surfaces..and Banks is terrific.
 Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
 
 These women have nothing that interesting to offer and their husbands are just as dull.
 Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane
 
 The creation of human life is the best show you could ever see and What to Expect... the book is a great guide to that process. However the movie adaptation is a shallow concept piece, lazy in its approach and moronic in its execution.
 Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews
 
 Like childbirth, (it's) very messy and painful at times. But like raising children, there will be a few tears and a few laughs and somehow you'll get through it.
 Matt Neal-The Standard
 
 The young Hollywood executives of today were weaned on television's last golden era - the heady days of 'Friends' and 'Ally McBeal' and 'Seinfeld' - and the films now being greenlit seem to come with a mandate for a small-screen mindset and aesthetic.
 Simon Foster-Screen-Space
 
 Messy? Complicated? Nah. Turns out all you should expect when you're expecting is to live in the midst of a nine-month sitcom.
 MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher
 
 The eggs are there; someone just forgot to fertilise them.
 Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
 
 This terrible comedy is a return to the cycle of late 1980s obscoms, movies packed with obstetric detail celebrating the wonders of parenthood.
 Philip French-Observer [UK]
 
 The cast gives it their all, but this tepid dramedy lacks fervour and originality.
 Shaun Munro-What Culture
 
 As rom-coms go, this one is definitely stillborn.
 Jason Best-Movie Talk
 
 Abort.
 Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show
 
 All the leads are ultimately betrayed by a script almost as silly as the idea of building a romcom around a pregnancy guide.
 James O'Brien-Daily Mail [UK]
