Cary Grant made a few movies with his wife at the time, Betsy Drake. My overall impression of the movies is that they were a bit bland, though I think this is more bland than most of them. To me, this looks less like a Cary Grant film and more a pilot episode of some bland family series (sort of like a less interesting version of the Waltons but NOT set in the hills).
Betsy Drake is actually the primary star of this film and she does a pretty good job playing a mother-to-be with a heart of gold. However, Grant looks so out of place (even more than he did in Father Goose) in the role of a new dad. Interestingly enough, this reportedly mirrored their real-life marriage.
Overall, a weak script and not exactly terrific casting sink this movie to the mediocre level.
