what to expect when you're expecting movie

*SPOILER ALERT* There's been lots of talk about the movie What to Expect When You're Expecting, which hits theaters today, from its strange but loose ties to the popular guidebook of the same name to its casting of slender, non-mom Cameron Diaz. However, I wasn't expecting the movie to tap into miscarriage territory. A miscarriage in a star-studded Hollywood movie, what???

what to expect when you're expecting movieThe latest film chronicling the road to parenthood hits theaters today! Yep, What to Expect When You're Expecting, the movie very very VERY loosely based on the popular guidebook for expectant parents, is here and jam packed with big celebrity names, including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth BanksMatthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, and more!

The story follows five couples as they trudge through the pre-baby preparation process and all its highs and lows. But do they get it right? Isn't that what you really want to know? How realistic is What to Expect's representation of pregnancy and waiting for baby? Well, I watched the movie with a critical been there, done that mom eye, and here's my review of what they got right and what they got wrong ...

With What to Expect When You're Expecting, the movie, hitting theaters next Friday, May 18th, I was stoked to get to sit down with Cameron Diaz and Matthew Morrison, who play luh-uvers Jules and Evan in the latest film about impending parenthood. Jules and Evan find themselves unexpectedly expecting and get swept up in all the typical "should we/shouldn't we?" banter of modern couples on the verge of baby. So, of course, they really got into it on the hot button topic of circumcision -- Evan is Jewish but, after researching, Jules finds the procedure to be cruel and unnecessary.  

I just had to ask Cameron and Matthew if they had any idea how controversial the circumcision debate truly is for many parents these days. And let me tell you, I was pretty surprised to see that Cameron knows a detailed thing or two about how the circumcision procedure really goes down.

Oh please, say it isn't so -- original Beastie Boys rapper Adam Yauch, also known as "MCA," has died. For anyone who grew up in '80s -- and surely many others -- this day marks the end of a rowdy, reckless, and damn fine era. Cue Gen X heartbreak across the world.

Beastie Boys' music, specifically "Licensed to Ill," permeates the memories of my wild and wonderful high school years. "You Gotta Fight for Your Right (to Party!)," "Paul Revere," "No Sleep Till Brooklyn," "She's Crafty," and "Brass Monkey" made good racket in many days and nights of celebrating youth for everything that's fabulous about youth -- being loud and unruly, speaking our minds, having fun, and driving around in cars with boys (real and Beastie), belting out some of the most poetically genius and playful lyrics of our time.

It's hard to believe he's gone.
