Jennifer B Apr 1 Deeply disappointed in this movie. While the performances themselves were great by a talented cast, the story perpetuates Hollywoods portrayal of pregnancy and birth as a high anxiety, traumatic, life threatening event. It frames the pregnant person as dramatic, unreasonable and incapable. It portrays midwives as irresponsible and incompetent and further frames the hospital as the only reasonable place people to deliver. Films like this do a tremendous disservice to birthing families by continuing the same cheap laughs and cliche jokes around birth at the expense of pregnant people, while reinforcing feelings of fear, anxiety and trauma around birth. This has real- life consequences because most people dont attend a birth until it is the birth of their own child, so when people see films like this they become fearful before the birth had ever happened or before they even become pregnant. People start their pregnancy journey from a place of fear because of films like this and that needs to stop. There are plenty of humorous things that happen during pregnancy and birth, humor around all of it is totally understandable, but the fear, trauma that Hollywood continues to portray is harmful and has been done over and over again. Its heartbreaking. Lastly, midwives are highly skilled and trained medical providers and the medical system already does a lot to prohibit or regulate midwifery care in the US. Portraying midwives in this way is a huge disservice to the valuable services they provide to the community.

Well now you can get the best of both worlds with Thom Harp’s Home Delivery. Laugh out loud funny, engaging characters, heartwarming storyline and raunchy humor awaits. I was pleasantly surprised to find a film that toes the line between outrageous and touching, and best yet, delivers a quality comedy that I can see myself watching again & again.

Constantly hilarious and sharply observed, it turns cringe, chaos, and sweet-natured vulgarity into something unexpectedly tender and deeply human. Thom Harp writes and directs with a clear-eyed affection for the messy realities of family, biology, and connection, and the ensemble is terrific across the board. Joe Pantoliano and Jimmi Simpson get to show grounded versatility beyond their familiar roles, while Donald Faison, Leslie Ann Warren, Peter MacNicol, and Rainn Wilson give vividly funny performances whose extremes never lose touch with emotional truth. As the central sisters, Melanie Field and Lindsay Sloane anchor the film with tension, warmth, and deeply lived-in connection. In an era when many comedies settle for easy laughs, Home Delivery earns something rarer: humor that grows organically from character, vulnerability, and the beautifully chaotic reality of being human.

I laughed, I cried...and then found myself laughing WHILE crying. Perfectly timed comedy. This is JUSt the kind of movie we need these days.

Somehow both a breath of fresh air and a bit nostalgic. An honest and hilarious family comedy about a family whose disfunction is kept on simmer until it can’t be, something that is incredibly relatable. One of the best casts ever with people from so many different walks of Hollywood it’s kindof insane. See more Read all reviews
