Jennifer B 6d Deeply disappointed in this movie. While the performances themselves were great by a talented cast, the story perpetuates Hollywoods portrayal of pregnancy and birth as a high anxiety, traumatic, life threatening event. It frames the pregnant person as dramatic, unreasonable and incapable. It portrays midwives as irresponsible and incompetent and further frames the hospital as the only reasonable place people to deliver. Films like this do a tremendous disservice to birthing families by continuing the same cheap laughs and cliche jokes around birth at the expense of pregnant people, while reinforcing feelings of fear, anxiety and trauma around birth. This has real- life consequences because most people dont attend a birth until it is the birth of their own child, so when people see films like this they become fearful before the birth had ever happened or before they even become pregnant. People start their pregnancy journey from a place of fear because of films like this and that needs to stop. There are plenty of humorous things that happen during pregnancy and birth, humor around all of it is totally understandable, but the fear, trauma that Hollywood continues to portray is harmful and has been done over and over again. Its heartbreaking. Lastly, midwives are highly skilled and trained medical providers and the medical system already does a lot to prohibit or regulate midwifery care in the US. Portraying midwives in this way is a huge disservice to the valuable services they provide to the community.

I laughed, I cried...and then found myself laughing WHILE crying. Perfectly timed comedy. This is JUSt the kind of movie we need these days.

Somehow both a breath of fresh air and a bit nostalgic. An honest and hilarious family comedy about a family whose disfunction is kept on simmer until it can’t be, something that is incredibly relatable. One of the best casts ever with people from so many different walks of Hollywood it’s kindof insane. See more Zach V @ZachVarnum 4d This is such a sweet movie. Genuine laughs from start to finish, and an amazing cast! I thought the concept was so ingenious, and I was surprised I hadn't seen it before. Tonally it hearkens back to comedies of the late 90's and 2000's, a style I really miss seeing! Not only is it funny but also really heartfelt and moving. The family ensemble have so much to fight about, but they also love each other so much that it makes you root for all of them to the very end. And the whole cast just knocks it out of the park, bringing expert comic timing and emotional depth in equal measure. I highly recommend giving this a watch! See more Nick G @NickGivas 5d I wrote a review of the film for The Western Journal and interviewed the director, Thom Harp. The cast did a great job, but Rainn Wilson stole the show. Much deeper and funnier than I expected. Not for everyone, but once you commit and stick around for the big finale, you'll be happy you did. See more Read all reviews
