Usually, a subject of pregnancy in films is mostly taken as a funny experience for the filmmakers who are looking to entertain the audience and deliver a weak message about paternity. Films like, Look Who's Talking, What to Expect When You're Expecting, Baby Mama, Knocked Up is among those movies.

Jason Reitman director of Juno and Up in the Air, have a different approach to make a movie about having a baby. To be quite honest, this films hit me in a very unexpected way, why? Now as a parent I lived the experience and ordeal of sleepless nights, uncountable diapers, the crying, and the reality check of one of the biggest decision of your life.

Marlo (Charlize Theron) mother of two kids and pregnant with the third deals with a developmental disorder of her son Jonah which makes him a difficult character in school. Marlo is married to Drew (Ron Livingston) they are an average family living paycheck to paycheck, but on the other side, Marlo's brother Craig (Mark Duplass) is a wealthy guy married and with kids. As a baby shower gift, he offers them a night nanny ( a person who takes care of your baby while you sleep and only wakes you when you need it)
Finally, Marlo gives birth to a baby girl name Mia, becoming overwhelmed and exhausted of dealing with her two kids and the baby. Jonah reaches a tipping point at school, Marlo meets with the principal which recommends to send him to another school. Marlo has a crisis making the decision to bring the night nanny to help her.

Tully (Mackenzie Davis) started to work for Marlo, originally it starts as an awkward situation, but later becomes a strong friendship where they share a lot of each other.

Jason Reitman tells an honest story very raw, is kind of like a slap in the face of parenthood. Charlize Theron is perfect for the role, blending from drama to comedy in a perfect way.
