This week we take a look at the movie "She's having a baby"
This film looks at the lives of Jefferson "Jake" (Kevin Bacon) and Kristy Briggs (Elizabeth McGovern), from their wedding day until the birth of their first child, mostly through Jake's eyes, with his voiceover commentaries and several imaginary scenes. Before their wedding day, Jake asks his best friend, Davis McDonald (Alec Baldwin) if he thinks Jake will be happy, to which his friend says, "Yeah, you'll be happy. You just won't know it."
After their wedding, Jake and Kristy head off for New Mexico, where Jake works toward gaining a Master's Degree, but leaves before finishing. They return to Chicago where Jake is hired as an advertising copywriter. Jake says he wants to be a writer, which amuses his boss. Kristy is hired as a research analyst, and they are able to buy a house in the suburbs. Meanwhile, Jake begins fantasizing about having an affair with a mysterious young French model.
Jake and Kristy continue to adjust to their new lives. Jake feels pressure from family, society and his wife to have a child. Kristy's mother casually informs them that she had a difficult birth with Kristy and nearly died. Later, Kristy informs Jake that she stopped taking contraceptives without telling him. After several months, they discover that the reason she hasn't gotten pregnant is because he has been unable to impregnate her.
After not seeing Jake and Kristy for three years, Davis visits unexpectedly, telling them that his father has died. Jake and Kristy are supportive, allowing him to stay the night. Things take a turn when Davis makes a pass at Kristy by proclaiming his feelings and trying to open her bathrobe, but Kristy turns him down, telling him that she is in love with Jake.
The couple begins a fertility program, which eventually succeeds. During a traumatic labor where Jake must leave the delivery room and worries about losing Kristy, Jake realizes that his lack of satisfaction in life was due to his own selfishness and immaturity.
The last scene of the film reveals that Jake's voiceover was the new father reading his novel entitled*She's Having a Baby*to his wife and son.
First off, Kristy is a bitch! Women who try to trap men into becoming a father before they are ready deserve to do time in prison. Second, Jake is a pussy. When he found out she secretly was trying to get pregnant he should left her and had tons of sex with the French model.... or at least tried. Instead he decided "oh, I'll get on board with this plan. The guy is a beta who will eventually watch his wife through a window get banged by Davis because that's the next step in his progression in becoming a cuckold.Sorry ladies, man rant. Let me rephrase, he's so lucky she tried to pregnant without his consent. Every man's dream! Knowing it is what it is you'll continue to watch. Seeing the terrifying situation they find themselves in during the birth of their child does make up for it by pulling at the heart strings. The song playing ensures that you look past his and his wife's future and get sucked in the moment. For that reason, this is still worthy of grabbing out your Chocolate, wine, tampons, and tissues. I give this film 4 out of 5 tears since most women dream of trapping a man by getting pregnant.
