Lindsay Lohan stars as a young women who pretends to be pregnant so not to get fired. The bluff wins her perks so she keeps it up longer and longer. Bland comedy isn't bad but it never rises above the level... Full review

To be honest I really had more fun watching these "Based on the true story" titles my mother is keen on watching. This title is full of clichés, the plot is incomprehensible and the acting is mediocre at best. Thea Clayhill... Full review

I honestly thought this movie was good. I giggled a lot, especially because of Kevin Covias, he's hilarious! I personally think Lindsay Lohan is an underrated actress. people forger she has talent because of all the drama, but she has one,... Full review
Labor Pains is drek on a warped stick of the offensive illogical sort that always bugs me in movies. It made its way from its original destination of theatrical distribution to TV, and it was more than the right decision. Out... Full review

The scenes between Thea and her work crush were boring but romances bore me unless they're really good love stories. This is not a good love story. That scene where he gives that big speech and what's her face asks him... Full review

This movie was cute at first but then it just starts to get weird. Lindsay Lohan plays a girl pretending to be pregnant so she doesn't loose her job, she sticks with the lie for so long she starts to believe... Full review

I managed to sit through the better part of an hour of this film. I could not believe just how truly pathetic it was. I mean, the movie was trying, desperately, to be funny, and failed so many times. Time and... Full review

Worse comedies have made it to the big screen this year....rehab stints were more interesting than her movies, which haven't drawn big crowds since 2005.....As for the piece's leading man, Luke Kirby seems a bit generic....That said, perhaps the drastically lowered expectations that come with being an ABC Family Original Movie helps one appreciate the film.....CLOSING THOUGHTS Labor Pains isn't bad enough to have deserved being denied a theatrical release..... ...

What we have here is a silly little movie about a lie that gets out of control.....the payoff was worth the cringe-worthy investment of watching the lead character spend almost the entire movie trying to keep the pregnancy charade up..... ... Full Review

she is capable of suspending our collective disbelief, might have made "Labor Pains" less arduous to watch.....it's not a good sign for a comedy or a comeback.....A stronger performance by Lohan, who proved in "Freaky Friday....support her high school aged sister, Emma, a throwaway role with which Bridgit Mendler does the very best she can.....the time the (predictable) climax occurs, you're just grateful the ordeal is over..... ...

But "Labor Pains" is a miscarriage of talent.....Labor Pains" should have been terminated, you're right -....It could be the subject of a great satire.....There are moments when director and co-writer Lara Shapiro's story offers glimmers of intelligence..... ... Full Review

I liked the cast, too.....then you will find "Labor Pains" to be less painful than actual birth.....For what the movie is, there is some good writing.....The concept of the movie is insultingly stupid:.... ... Full Review
