I like John Hughes a lot, so naturally I wanted to see She's Having a Baby. She's Having a Baby is not Hughes' best movie by a long shot, and is not a masterpiece but it is a watchable and charming movie. It is too short, unevenly paced having the odd dull stretch in the middle, has some weak spots in the script and the story is rather predictable. However, it is nicely filmed, has a beguiling soundtrack, it does have its funny and charming sequences, the direction is assured, the ending did get to me and I thought it was beautifully done, and the performances from Kevin Bacon, Kirsty Briggs, Alec Baldwin and the rest of the cast are natural and not too forced. Overall, a nice if lacking film. 6/10 Bethany Cox
