Wait a minute… Seven couples? Sounds like there wasn’t much story here so she needed to write in extra couples just to get more pages in the script.

BTW, what the hell is this sh*t?!

In reply to Kristina. I've heard Oprah is doing a special soon on married couples who opt not to have babies. Me? I want them, but totally respect the decision not to have them.

In reply to 420BAND. They make you a better person by making you look less irritating in comparison.

In reply to Kristina.

Yes, some people do genuinely want kids. My sister-in-law has been wanting to have a kid for ages…so maybe in the next year or so I get to be an aunt again.

I also have friends who never wanted kids, but now have one and love being a parent. I am also in that category, but I would never want to go back in time and change having my daughter she is the most awesome kid.

There is also nothing wrong with not having a kid. I have friends who are married and aren’t planning to have children. My opinion is good for them. Kids are not a requirement for happiness or fulfillment but they are pretty cool.

An odd choice for a movie indeed, but I can see them creating a generic movie that will make a modest box office. I won’t be one contributing to a movie theater ticket, but maybe dvd depending on what they come up with. Many years ago when I was expecting I used this book and it offered a lot of answers to my questions.

or seeing yourself 5 yrs into the future with kids and realizing your life means something now and not about all the superficialities we tend to create for ourselves…

Kids make you a better person IMHO

I always wonder if people have kids because they genuinely want to or because they feel obligated to. The second you get married, the first words out of people’s mouths are “When are you gonna have a baby?” What if you just don’t want to? I have this sneaking suspicion that if people could go five years into the future and see their lives after having kids, some of them would think twice.

Maybe they can put that in the movie.

For some reason im getting a feeling that this has Amy Adams written all over it.

“He’s just not that into you” was also a non-fiction book transformed.
