WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING heads to theaters this Friday, May 18th from Lionsgate. The romantic comedy was directed by Kirk Jones and stars Elizabeth Banks, Cameron Diaz, Anna Kendrick, Jennifer Lopez, Joe Manganiello, Brooklyn Decker, Dennis Quaid, Rodrigo Santoro, Chace Crawford, Chris Rock and Matthew Morrison.

The film opens with Cameron Diaz and Matthew Morrison competing as contestants on a reality dance show. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Diaz spoke about learning the complicated dance moves for the scene. "It took me about five days to learn about 12 minutes,” joked the actress, who added that Morrison picked up the steps with ease. 

The actors were already good friends prior to filming the movie and told THR how much they enjoyed working together. “Cameron has such a deep respect for the process of being an actor,” said Morrison. “She realizes who she is and what she means to people, and I think that is so special to know that and to value and and it be good for the fans.” Watch the interview in full below!

Inspired by the perennial New York Times bestseller of the same name, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING is a hilarious and heartfelt big screen comedy about five couples whose intertwined lives are turned upside down by the challenges of impending parenthood.

Over the moon about starting a family, TV fitness guru Jules and dance show star Evan find that their high-octane celebrity lives don't stand a chance against the surprise demands of pregnancy. Baby-crazy author and advocate Wendy gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice when pregnancy hormones ravage her body; while Wendy's husband, Gary, struggles not to be outdone by his competitive alpha-Dad, who's expecting twins with his much younger trophy wife, Skyler.

Photographer Holly is prepared to travel the globe to adopt a child, but her husband Alex isn't so sure, and tries to quiet his panic by attending a "dudes" support group, where new fathers get to tell it like it really is. And rival food truck chefs Rosie and Marco's surprise hook-up results in an unexpected quandary: what to do when your first child comes before your first date?

A kaleidoscopic comedy as universal as it is unpredictable, "What to Expect When You're Expecting" finds humor and uplift in all the unexpected trials and triumphs of welcoming a child into the world.
