Holy perky opening credits batman! I almost stopped watching at this point due to annoying music and color combinations. Overall, I’m not really sure when the characters did what they did in the movie. I didn’t understand the gross out moments, like the dog throwing up a pregnancy test and gross fluids at the gyno… yuck. All that I can figure out is that this movie was written for guys. It actually casts women in a pretty negative light and focuses on this random boyfriend’s forbearance and tolerance. Gag. Seriously, what guy takes over financial responsibility and slips directly into marriage mode with woman he’s been dating for a few months and is pregnant with another man’s child? And yet again, another movie makes me not want to have children. That should make K happy!
The movie starts out on such a traditional note, by presenting all the requisite stereotypes with commonly unique names:
Clive - The gay best friend who is over involved in the friendship
Mona - The high maintenance best friend who is over involved in the friendship
- Don't expect to ever really see these two again
Zoe - The “every girl” (though I don’t honestly understand how anyone can relate to JLo, she never really gives off an approachable vibe, more of a freaky diva one.)
Stan - The perfect dreamy guy who chases down a random girl he met to make all her dreams come true
A quirky pet – a French Bulldog in a wheel chair
A horrible, horrible soundtrack compiled of music that I hear at my gym
A ridiculous premise possibly resulting in a ginger baby
However, some things were very realistic.
Every guy that I’ve ever met and then walked home with has grilled me about my first kiss and other girly details.
French bulldogs love to chew on pregnancy tests.
JLo is too thin to properly handle a garden hose.
JLo has to wear giant black framed glasses to drive.
Chili is edible on the stovetop and will not burn you and bread makes an excellent napkin.
Somehow you can “grow” and make cheese on a horse farm. Mmmm horse cheese.
Guys like to be punched in the face during sex.
The best time to tell a guy you’re pregnant is right after you’ve had sex.
Parents don’t care if their kids eat sand.
Favorite quotes:
I really want to kiss you but it smells like cheese in here.
Unfortunately there weren’t any other good ones…
My recommendation: Skip it, or if you have to see it, watch it on TV where it's edited!
