Editorial Review:
Thea (Lindsay Lohan) is stuck in a dead-end job that she can't afford to lose. To stay employed, she fakes a pregnancy, and now she's milking her one big lie for everything it's worth. But faking this pregnancy is going to make giving birth look easy. Chris Parnell and Cheryl Hines also star in this hilarious comedy.
Description of Labor Pains:
Labor Pains stars Lindsay Lohan as much-abused secretary Thea Dixon, whose boss makes her clean his dog when it rolls in poop. On the brink of being fired, Thea makes a desperate claim: She’s pregnant! Fear of a lawsuit prevails and she keeps her job... but now she’s got to keep up her story. It’s a chore at first, but Thea soon discovers that pregnancy has its privileges; she ends up with a promotion and a fledgling romance--all threatened by the possible revelation of her deceit. Labor Pains has the kind of preposterous but plot-driving premise that might have made for a great screwball comedy in the 1940s. Unfortunately, the clumsy script fumbles every promising scene with obvious jokes and no sense of how to maintain the tricky balance of absurdity and genuine feeling that the story requires. The movie gets a boost from its bouncy soundtrack, Lohan’s likability (only a few years ago she was riding high from Freaky Friday and Mean Girls), and an enjoyable supporting turn from Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) as Thea’s caustic co-conspirator in the secretarial pool. Janeane Garofalo has a cameo as a talk-show host. --Bret Fetzer
Labor Pains Reviews:
Very funny and Entertaining 
2009-11-08 - I just finished watching this movie and it definitely falls in one of my favorites. It was very funny, entertaining and I really enjoyed it. I haven't really cared for a whole lot of Lindsay Lohan shows but this was very cute... Great date movie :-)
Lindsay Lohan 
2009-11-07 - I LOVE this movie... It is such an inspiring and deep film. Huge score for Lindsay in my book. She has surpassed Angelina Jolie, and now sits as the most mature and most developed of the Actress Queens. Delivering an inspiring film beyond her years, Lohan has MUCH success ahead of her.
Lindsay Lohan + Acting = Amazing Actress
2009-11-05 - I seen this movie with a friend and we loved it. We both bought it on DVD. I love Lindsay Lohan, but I'm a bigger fan of her sister Ali Lohan. Great movie, great acting. Way to go LiLo
Amazing!!
2009-11-05 - I was never a fan of Lindsay. But I watched this movie on ABC family and I loved it. I bought it on DVD!

2009-11-05 - This is a great movie for any Lindsay fan! It's one of the things she does best: acting! I've been a Lindsay fan since she first stepped into the spotlight! I love her and personally think she can do no wrong. But if you're not a Lindsay fan (shame on you ;)) then you probably won't like this movie. However, I think it's a great movie and another great hit for LiLo!!!
