[T]hanks to a couple of pure and true performances and some fine directing, UNEXPECTED avoids the cliché potholes and, um, delivers.

Rating: 4/5 -- The script is honest, mature, and genuinely touching in many ways. The performances by the lead cast are sincere and filled with heart. Full Review

Unexpected is of a piece with the films of Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson) and Ramin Bahrani (Goodbye Solo) in that she dodges melodrama in favor of realistic concerns given life by the crackling chemistry between her central duo. Full Review

Unexpected deserves credit for featuring a relationship between two women that is not often shown. At the same time, though, that relationship, fraught with race and class tension as it is, never really challenges us in a believable way. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- Swanberg finds a pleasingly low-key tone throughout the film, which (blissfully) is especially true during the kinds of moments that usually are played for wacky laughs in pregnancy comedies.
