Expecting
A fresh take on the adoption process, with impressive lead performances from Radha Mitchell and Michelle Monaghan.
Expecting
After years of struggling to conceive with her husband, Lizzie (Radha Mitchell, “Red Widow”) has given up hope of having a baby on her own. But when her best friend Andie (Michelle Monaghan, SOURCE CODE) finds herself pregnant after a one-night stand, an unexpected solution arises: Andie offers to have the baby and give it to Lizzie. The couple agrees to the plan, on one condition: Andie must move in with them for the duration of the pregnancy. But can the women's friendship survive until birth? Jessie McCormack's debut is a refreshingly candid comedy about planning ahead for life's unexpected detours.
