So what was the pitch meeting for this like?

I'd be stunned by this, but the truth is Hollywood beat me into irremediable jaded cynicism a long time ago. However, I must admit it never once occurred to me, while being loving and supportive through three pregnancies, that a preachy book written to make pregnant women feel bad for not eating enough wheat germ had the makings of a romantic comedy buried deep down inside.

I would like to think this is all a brilliantly clever joke perpetrated on the movie-going public. Maybe that would be the best way to view it.
