The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Sarah (Kyra Sedgwick) and Ryan (Rob Morrow) have broken things off after a long relationship. However, Sarah is pregnant and makes the decision not to tell Ryan. At the moment Sarah goes in to labor, her parents rush to her side and someone knowingly informs Ryan. When Ryan dashes into the fray, humor and discord come along. What kind of situation is Baby X coming into? Sedgwick and Morrow are touching and ticklish in their roles as parents to be. Mary Tyler Moore and Robert Klein, as Sedgwick's parents, alternate between amusing and exasperating. The script has oodles of possibilities but just can't quite gel into a winning result. Nevertheless, for those who love romantic comedies with mayhem, this film is an non-painful and diverting way to spend a rainy afternoon.

I rented Labor Pains see if it was good. This is not worth buying or renting. It a waste of money to see the film. The actors are good but not the story. It lacked all over. Do yourself a favor see Nine Months than this movie.

I was pleasantly surprised by this comedy. It was well written; in fact much of the dialogue reminded me of Michael Frayn (Noises Off!). There was potential for that rapid-fire repartee going back and forth between two or more characters. Also, the actors were well cast and terrific. I'd say that actors of this. caliber were either working for scale wages or else, the lion's share of the budget went to on-screen talent. The place where this film suffered a crushing blow was the direction. It was written and directed by Tracy Alexson. I think Tracy has a brighter future in writing than in direction. Entire scenes seemed to sag under a lack of direction. If you watch, don't expect a neat and tight comedy. Instead, expect some good dialogue, good acting and a comedy that misses its potential.
