What To Expect When You're Expecting

I recently saw the trailer for the movie What To Expect When You're Expecting.  This movie is inspired by the best-selling pregnancy book of the same name.

I got the book when I was pregnant, and stopped reading it because it was so exhaustive that I got overwhelmed, and also couldn't stop thinking about all the bad things the book says can happen to you and/or your baby.  It's a good reference if you want to look something up, but I would not read it cover to cover. 

The movie is about five couples who are expecting babies in different ways, and it stars a lot of people: Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison, Jennifer Lopez, Rodrigo Santoro, Elizabeth Banks, Anna Kendrick, etc.  The most hilarious part of the trailer was when Rodrigo Santoro's character attended a fathers' group, and they told him the real truths.  Mr. Y said he can definitely relate.  I can relate to Elizabeth Banks's character, who hated being pregnant. 

Most of the main cast don't have kids.  Only Jennifer Lopez and Elizabeth Banks have kids.  Lopez has 4-year-old twins, Max and Emme with her estranged husband Marc Anthony, and Elizabeth Banks has been open about welcoming her son Felix through surrogacy last year.   

I'm not usually a fan of these movies with a large cast (Love Actually is the only exception), but the trailer had its funny moments and I like most of the cast.  So I might see this one when it comes out on DVD or on TV.
