Why watch this? This was one of our favorite films as we neared the birth of our first child.

Plot Summary: Young newlyweds Jake and Kristy Briggs are navigating the complexities of married life and the societal expectations that come with it. Jake, an aspiring writer, struggles with the idea of settling down and the responsibility of starting a family, while Kristy embraces the idea of motherhood.

Dad's Preview: This film is the slice of life most couples go through before they have a child. It begins just before Jake and Kristy's wedding. That alone can be a little scary, but they take the plunge and say, "I do". Then we follow the newlyweds through some typical marital ups and downs. Then Kristy gets pregnant. A major part of this film highlights Jake's fear, selfishness and immaturity. As the reality of fatherhood sinks in, both become overwhelmed. So can they handle parenthood?
