Los Angeles Times
This treatise on what to expect when you're not expecting offers up biting cultural satire with a hearty dose of humanity and humor to boot. - 60
Variety
An amusing, extravagantly implausible farce that nonetheless makes a pointed argument about the perceived marginalization of childless women in modern society. - 50
The New York Times
The movie’s flaw is that it mixes tones. Ruth, her relatives and her fellow workers are realistically played, but her gal-pal buddies are caricatures. - 40
Village Voice
There's satiric comedy to be mined from the conflicting messages society still sends about pregnancy, motherhood, and women's worth, but the script isn't smart enough to explore them. - 25
Slant Magazine
Throughout, Sonja Bennett embodies slackness as an affectation, not a raw response to a culture of authenticity-killing productivity.
