Unexpected Reviews
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
A well-intentioned snooze. ... The script's high point for adrenaline is when Samantha and Jasmine make the impulsive decision to - wait for it - litter.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Except for a bit of contrived conflict that arises toward the end, the connection between these two expectant mothers-who are at vastly different points in their lives-rings with a mutual kindness and compassion.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Smulders gives one of the most natural performances of her career, and Bean's subtle, strong work announces her as a young actress to watch.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
With a 90-minute running time, Unexpected would fit comfortably, with room for commercial breaks, in a two-hour network time slot. How did it ever find a theatrical release?
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
The chemistry between Smulders and Bean is simply terrific. Their performances almost save the film from its earnest, if bumbling, attempts to make a statement about the social, economic, and racial differences that divide the two characters.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Smulders and Bean, with gentle and honest performances, sell it beautifully, and the tone is both warmhearted and realistic.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Not that these things don't matter, but they don't exactly make for riveting cinema.
indieWire
Kate Erbland
The story is rooted in real world concerns and practical issues.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Swanberg has crafted a universal story observed through small details.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
[A] lovely, minor-key indie.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
It's the same warmth and kindness that makes us care about these two characters that smothers the film's fire before it can ever get roaring.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
For a movie about surprises ... there really aren't many.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It's a little diagrammatic in its plotting. But there's an easy fluency in the way Swanberg empathizes with everybody on screen.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Unexpected" would have been enriched by a more generous balance between the two characters' worlds. But Swanberg shows a sure, sensitive hand in limning the upshots and downsides of life's most blessed events.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
If their story feels more like a dramatized argument than an involving drama, that's no fault of the lovely, unforced performances by Cobie Smulders and newcomer Gail Bean.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Unexpected" offers the satisfactions of a very good made-for-television movie. For all the unexpectedness endured by the characters, it studiously plays it safe.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This is modest and gentle but seldom sentimental; Swanberg and conscreenwriter Megan Mercier depict the challenges these characters face but take care not to let those challenges define them.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
The movie's radiance comes from [Gail Bean].
Observer
Rex Reed
An admirable achievement by all concerned.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Unexpected, a disappointing what-to-expect-when-you're-expecting comedy, tackles thorny issues of class and racial inequality with undue mildness.
