Verdict: ★★★★

So my wife was cruising RedBox and found this movie, gave me a look like, “You wanna?” and I gave her a look like, “I’d rather eat blue stained glass from the Rose Window.” but being a good husband, I masked the look with, “Of course dear!”

I fully expected this movie to be another one of those We’re Having A Baby movies where the entire focus is on the mother to be and the goofy-go-lucky daddy stumbles over his own feet, panics through most of the movie, says the wrong thing all the time and is treated like a total idiot for “laughs”, and in the end the baby is born and all’s well that end’s well, credits roll.
(sighs)

That didn’t happen here, thank goodness. Despite the all-female movie cover, as if mommies were the only ones ever present during a pregnancy, this is a movie that is balanced between the mommy and the daddy… or in this case, the several mommies and daddies. I know, right?? What’s this? Equality between the genders? Oh em gee!

In WTEWYE‘ing, we follow several couples in their various states of relationship from conception to birth, each relationship as different as the couples who lived it and each path as hilarious and beautiful as life itself. I mentioned balance, and I meant that… I honestly couldn’t have made it through this movie without the help of the Dudes Group (seen above). These guys were worth the time it took to sit through this flick alone! Every time they showed up on screen, my head was back, my open mouth, my teeth showing as I laughed my ass off!

I definitely recommend this movie. It’s real (despite Cameron Diaz and J Lo starring in it), it’s moving and it will keep you smiling throughout the entire thing! Being a daddy of two, I can personally testify to the memories this movie brought back, and some I’m still living through.
