Star-filled ensemble films have not been received well by critics, and for good measure. Valentine’s Day was torn apart by critics, and New Year’s Eve currently sits at Rotten Tomatoes at only 5%. But, could a famous best-seller actually create one of the year’s best comedies? That’s what Lionsgate is hoping for as they adapt What to Expect When You’re Expecting:

The cast includes Elizabeth Banks, Rob Heubel, Anna Kendrick, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock, Chace Crawford, Matthew Morrison, Brooklyn Decker, Thomas Lennon, and Wendy McLendon-Covey.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting releases on May 11th, 2012.
