Before I review the movie I just want to add a foreword to this movie There are many movies with hidden messages This is one of them The movie might be crude rude and have nudity in it but the message behind it is so so important to couples who are planning to get married or are married Assumption is the Mother of ALL misunderstandings which leads to divorce Never assume ANYTHING COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATE Never say YOU KNOW WHAT DID without explaining what you saw Things are sometimes not what they seem As I said If you can get past the crudeness crass behavior and nudity the message this movie conveys is so so important
Now to the review The story is very simple A newly married couple are trying to kick start their careers Very understandably They decide on holding back on having a baby until they are more established She gets a prime assignment that she can't afford to mess up on He is a newly established lawyer She suddenly discovers that she is pregnant It is a total shock to her as they were taking precautions She walks back to their home in a daze protesting to everyone on the way I'm NOT PREGNANT In that state she walks past a restaurant only to see a woman straddling her husband on his lap This heightens her despondency and blinds her even more to evaluating what she is seeing He was trying to push the woman off his lap because he felt uncomforstble
When he gets home he is confronted by a very depressed and fuming wife When he asks her whats wrong Her response is very abrupt and to the point YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID He is very confused and frustrated because he has absolutely no idea what she is talking about When he taxes her again he gets the same YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID and no more They become very estranged from each other and the situation is farther confused by his one friend who raises the suspicion that SHE was having an affair behind his back because he was using condoms to prevent pregnancy and her mother who also stirs things up Both he and she refuse to move out and that sets the scene for some comical yet sad moments His friend is a bit of a philander and tries to set him up with a girl but even though his upset and confused as to her behavour he still loves his wife and refuses to break his marriage up For Nine months the two of them are at loggerheads with each other At a time when she needs all the support and comfort because of the pregnancy which really makes the situation very sad It's only nine months later as she's about to have the baby that the whole situation is resolved Nine wasted months of stupidity caused by non communication and assumption While this movie is not one for the best movies around due to the crass language nudity and crudeness the message it imparts makes it a movie that SHOULD be watched Just for the message it conveys Don't assume anything Comunicate Talk
This is just one of the movies that have hidden positive messages in them Don't just watch a movie just for the sake of watching a movie and try to pick out all the mistakes made Watch it to find those hidden messages and view them in a positive light on how best to improve yourself
Some movies with hidden positive messages are Mary Poppins A Cinderella Story Legally Blonde 1 and 3 Maid in Manhattan It's a Wonderful Life Just to name a few

A powerful message to pre and married couples
Communication is important to avoid heartbreak. Jumping to conclusions is sad
While this is not the very best of movies and most people are panning this movie as been immature (there are some scenes that are very crass below the belt juvenile and offensive there is a very strong message in this movie that many people are missing Spoiler ahead You have a happily couple The wife wants to establish her career first before settling down to have a baby Hubby wants one A faulty condom and baby's on board Tie a philandering friend into the equation and advice from friends who only make things worse and you unfortunately land up with a disaster waiting to happen A indiscretion through no fault of the husband and seen by his wife lands up in a 9 month nightmare for both because she takes it for granted that what she saw was his doing and does not let him explain the true situation Result near divorce. A breakup of a marriage Heartbreak It is important. In a relationship to keep communication paths open and not just jump to conclusions
Silly & Stupid
My wife and I watched it, neither one of us laughed at all. Jerry O'Connell plays husband to Heather Graham and is your Hollywood version of a well intended, bumbling husband. Somehow, he is supposed to be a great divorce attorney when he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. Pretty faces for guys and girls in this movie, unnecessary f-bombs poor script writing that no one, no matter how talented, could save this disaster.
************************POSSIBLE SPOILER**************************** He and Heather are going to have a baby, and mistakes, miscommunication ensue. The comedy that is supposed to ensue afterwords does not. Both take advice (poor) from best friends in the middle of their own crisis. Complete and total suspension of disbelief is needed to get through this clunker. An insult to real world relationships everywhere.
