In Labor Pains, Lindsay plays Thea Clayhill, a girl who gave up her college education to work full-time to take care of her sister after their parents died. She hates her job, where her overbearing and comedically dog-obsessed boss is constantly degrading her. Faced with being fired, Thea lies and says she’s pregnant - and they can’t fire a pregnant woman.

Almost as soon as the deception begins, Thea’s life improves. She gets the seat on the bus, people treat her differently, and she gets an opportunity at work to lead the new Family Division. Thinking all her success is due to the fake pregnancy, not her own talent, Thea continues the farce. Meanwhile, we see her loser boyfriend get dumped and Thea fall for her boss, Nick. All very cute. Of course, the whole thing backfires, but it does so beautifully.

Most of the time, the film is filled with well-delivered comedic performances. The script is a little predictable, perhaps, but it’s a solid comedy. I think Lindsay connected better with Thea as the script progressed, though sometimes you wished the character was a little deeper. I think, in some ways, they tried to put too many characters into the movie for it to flow smoothly. The movie was slightly cliche, but I still enjoyed watching it.

Labor Pains stars Lindsay Lohan, Luke Kirby, Cheryl Hines, Chris Parnell, Tracee Ellis Ross, Janeane Garofalo, Bridgit Mendler, and Ana Ortiz.

I personally thought the film was good! I’ve been waiting all day to see the ratings, but so far they’re not out yet. When they are, I’ll let you know.

What do you think? Did the film unwittingly make fun of Lindsay’s past mistakes?

After the movie, come back here and tell me what you thought about it!! Would it have done well in theaters? Was the movie funny? How was Lindsay in her role??

The NY Times just did a big review of the film, saying that Lindsay did a great job with it, though the writing left something to be desired.

Mostly because of how her part was written, it takes too long for Ms. Lohan to shed her Hollywood reputation and wan, stilted demeanor and get into the role.

They don’t praise Lindsay in the entire role – partially because of typecasting, saying that the behaviour of her character was perhaps too tainted by Lindsay’s own life. They also share:

“this is not a triumphant return of a prodigal child star. She too often looks tired and ill at ease in a role that calls for an engaging, charismatic performance.”

So my last question will ask – did Lindsay’s history influence how you watched this movie? Was that a good or bad thing? Should Lindsay have refused this role, because of it?

In Labor Pains, Lindsay Lohan stars as Thea Clayhill, an assistant at a publishing company who pretends to be pregnant in order to avoid being fired (something she has to avoid, since she’s raising her little sister). With the help of her friend, Lisa (Cheryl Hines), Thea tries to pull off the deception long enough to keep her job secure.

Suddenly, Thea’s life changes for the better. She’s asked to head up a new family division of the company, a huge promotion for her. Though one assistant is suspicious of her, everything else falls into place. She even has a budding romance with her manager – a step above her loser boyfriend from before!

So, the question is, can Thea keep up her deception, or will it blow up in her face?

In Labor Pains, Lindsay Lohan plays Thea Clayhill, a woman who pretends to be pregnant in order to avoid being fired from her job. Thea realizes that her life “doesn’t suck” as a pregnant woman, so she keeps the farce up through the 9 months of her ‘pregnancy.’

Lindsay’s Labor Pains co-star, Cheryl Hines, recently spoke up again about working with Lindsay on the movie. She knows that Lindsay has it hard with the media and that Lindsay is “still a young person trying to figure it out.”
