As sociology, it's skin-deep, but if you're a parent or preparing to be one, you might see yourself in a few of these folks and have a good time doing so.

Variety - Unnamed
Helmer Kirk Jones does a solid job negotiating the material and managing the few tonal shifts when an occasional dark moment emerges.

Boxoffice Magazine - Pete Hammond
What to expect from What to Expect When You're Expecting: laughs, heart and a terrific ensemble of actors doing what they do best.

The Hollywood Reporter - Sheri Linden
Amid the would-be and actual laughs, the screenplay tries to drum up drama, but every disagreement and tension is treated superficially and summarily resolved.
