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..... ...

Labor Pains" isn't a devastatingly awful picture that requires a bottle of booze and a nap to flush out of the system....Labor Pains" is a dreary comedy, lazily going through the motions, accurately reflecting Lohan's current interest level in her own self-worth.....And by bad Matthew McConaughey movie I mean all Matthew McConaughey movies.....that the actors are lacking the needed charisma to allow the viewer a chance to root for these fools..... ...
