It’s too bad this movie crosses Dove’s acceptability line in a few content listings below including language and sex, as the moments when the miracle of childbirth and the delights of parenting are featured might even bring a tear or two to the eyes of the viewer. That said, this is definitely not one for family viewing.
The themes include wanting a child badly enough to adopt one; guys who form the “Dude Club” who love their kids but admit their parenting mistakes to each other, and also featured is a contrast of two mothers giving birth. One woman, carrying twins, sneezes during labor and her child is then born a second or two later! The other woman is near giving birth but must undergo a caesarean procedure to deliver her baby. There are humorous moments for sure, such as a father (Dennis Quaid) who has always been in competition with his son, and chases him down and rides next to him in a golf cart as he attempts to have a “serious” talk with him. It plays very humorously. Unfortunately, we cannot award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this one.
