What to Expect When You’re Expecting

I wasn’t expecting much from What to Expect When You’re Expecting, and it’s a good thing because this movie really doesn’t deliver. It’s one of those movies that suffers from too many plot lines and too many stars — Jennifer Lopez, Dennis Quaid, Cameron Diaz, Chris Rock, Chace Crawford, just to name a few. Based loosely on the best-selling pregnancy manual, the movie focuses on five couples who are expecting. Four of them are in Atlanta and one is in Los Angeles but of course they are all somehow connected. (Frankly, we could have done without at least two of the couples.) Throw in the gang of park-walking dudes/daddy support group led by Rock and it’s all just too much going on.

Good Hair

“A woman’s hair is her glory.” Maya Angelou says it in Good Hair and it’s an idea that goes back to biblical times. So no wonder so many women are obsessed with their hair. But what exactly is “good hair”? That’s the question comedian Chris Rock asks in his documentary and the answers he gets are hilarious, informative and sometimes political commentary – Reverend Al Sharpton talks about wearing your economic oppression on your head and comedian Paul Mooney says, “If your hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed. If your hair is nappy, they’re not happy.”
