I think the adoption storyline should have been Mark and Simon trying to adopt Jason Isaacs.

[@abbyhuntley3171]

I laughed out loud when Simon said "that's one for the poster is it? "a nappy full of poo"?"

[@WaveformDigitalMedia]

Lol @ dolphin portraits!

[@ameliorated]

now I just want to know what the line is

[@danielsfilmreviews]

I only went because it was free, haha. I had very low expectations and they were exceeded but barely. There's a few laughs hidden in there but very few and far between. She is! But only in two scenes... which was enough.

[@eleonoradeane5170]

I want Mark Karmode to review my life. Do me next!!!

[@BaronVonPenguin]

I need to know what the offensive line about the kid is.

[@theironlung2]

I've not seen this film, but I fully suspect that Mark Kermode's review is funnier than the whole film put together.

[@SureFineWhatever]

I actually liked Nine Months...I much rather watch that and Father of the Bride 2 over this.

[@TheFreeAdviceMan]

Where are You in infinity?

[@AtticussAtticuss]

Ironically or not, my wife loves this film and she watches it each time she is expecting. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BaronVonPenguin]

Is that it? Jaysus.

[@Guedingen]

Sounds like one of those carpet-chewing Richard Curtis-type 'button pressers'. To be avoided like the clap. me thinks.

[@danielsfilmreviews]

The only thing I could remember from the film resembling anything offensive. Don't take my word for it though!

[@90mv]

lol gotta love simon

[@CitizenDevi]

They even made a movie about that

[@BaronVonPenguin]

Fair paly to ye! And your opinion of the film? It looks dreadful. Is this the one that Cheryl Cole (shudder) appears in?

[@systemchris]

what is the line he is on about!?

[@generichuman2044]

Incredibly late reply but I'm assuming the line was either about race or a slur against the disabled. Can't say for sure as I've never even considered watching this film.

[@systemchris]

@@generichuman2044 and 10 years later - i can say i've never seen the movie luckily

[@BaronVonPenguin]

Haha! A likely story;) Nothing worse than catching yourself laughing with a film you know you should be hating. Hopefully this will be Cole's first and last appearance in anything other than the opening of a supermarket in Tyne and Wear or some shithole

[@eveningtsar]

For cryin' out loud Mayo, it's based on a book, get over it! Can we move on to the review please? Why must he always dwell on the least important things?

[@kuroistuc]

He doesn't need it either. I'm not sure what you're getting at...?

[@kuroistuc]

It's been reviewed, so you don't need the "to be"...

[@nifralo2752]

Kermode was sore board during the clip that he tried to eat his pen! I never knew Mark had a brother.

[@qusigh]

Lol sniffed by

[@kentuckycunctator]

These rhizomic rom-coms are propagating like so many unsightly, but mostly benign, weeds.

[@booyahboyuk]

This might possibly rank as the worst film I've ever seen. The only film that even comes close to how depressing this was would be Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning. I only watched it because Chris Rock was in it, but it was a shameful exercise in making men look like complete imbeciles and woman out as saintly, even if they're uber rich wasteful attention seekers like Cameron Diaz's character. Shocking stuff.

[@TheFreeAdviceMan]

I don't. But Kermode does! It's just plain Bad English!

[@wilf81]

So to sum up 8:26 mins of review - the film is shit.

[@TheFreeAdviceMan]

Bad English! It should read: What to Expect When You're Expecting to be reviewed by Mark Kermode . You left out the " to be ". As old Shake-his-Spear put it: 2 BEE or NOT 2 BEE !

[@MrE5785]

you're lonely, aren't you?

[@abiolaonabule]

Mayo is really annoying!

[@ohthepeppers]

mark's reviews are getting more and more long-winded. honestly, i think he's a better critic on paper than he is 'in person', and given his general dislike of 70-80% of films being released the last couple of years maybe he should focus on writing books about the films and directors he DOES like. . .
