“A dirty diaper bag of sex jokes, sentimental mush, cartoonish claptrap and weary parent-to-be clichés.” Neil Pond, American Profile
“It is the birth control of movies. What To Expect When You’re Expecting could scare you away from having a baby for life.” Willie Waffle, WaffleMovies.com
“Has the smug tone of judgmental, know-it-all parents, yet its reliance on tired plot devices suggests that the filmmakers may have actually skipped out on their reading.” Josh Bell, Las Vegas Weekly
“What audiences should expect is a tone-deaf, superficial, charmless ensemble rom-com, focused on five attractive, but uninteresting, couples.” Claudia Puig, USA Today
“Babies are cute and expectant parents often aren’t. That kind of sums up What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
“Cute couple Kendrick and Crawford are completely lost at sea. But the guys in the Dudes Group have the worst of it—they are a whiny, unappealing bunch through and through.” Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
“Exactly what you’d expect. And that’s not a good thing.” Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com

Xtreamer Prodigy

Despite the lack of display on the façade, the outer aluminum shell comes in either black or silver, and the lack of fan guarantees low noise levels. An internal 3.5-inch hard drive bay can fit desktop-sized hard drives of up to 3TB storage. Available at HD City Shop for B5,390.

Egreat R300

This black aluminum chassis comes with a touch-screen display for easy navigation and a bay on the side for up to 3TB hard drives. There’s also a SATA port that allows you to connect an additional hard drive to the device. Available at MacroCare for B5,290 without the built-in Wi-Fi and B5,790 with Wi-Fi.

HiMedia HD900B

The aluminum housing and the internal fan enable better heat dissipation but it does make a little noise. Still it is the cheapest 1186 option of the bunch. Available at HD Corner for B4,900.

Mede8er MED500X2

This actually runs on the older Realtek 1185 chipset. But if you don’t have a 3D TV and won’t be running Android apps on your TV, this is the cheapest option out there. Available at HD City Shop for B4,550.
