What To Expect When You´re Expecting

I’m sure that all mamas out there have heard about, read and recommended the best seller pregnancy book What to expect when you’re expecting to friends, co workers, family and  probably even strangers. Well, to my surprise the self help guide is now turning in to a movie with a very interesting cast.

“What to Expect” follows five couples who are preparing for the best and worst of having a baby. The ensemble cast includes Banks, Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison, Brooklyn Decker, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock and many more.

I think it’s going to be hilarious. Can’t wait to watch it!
