DN: So, tell us about "Kara," your character in "What to Expect…"?

WMC: I play [Lopez's] boss and friend. I'm the friend that wants to tell her about everything about having a baby. I'm very pretentious. Also, my husband and I are not in the honeymoon phase of our marriage at all. For us, it's all about the baby. The whole story line is going to bring tears to your eyes.

DN: Tears of joy? Pain? What can we expect to feel with "What to Expect"?

WMC: It's funny. It's sweet, it's endearing. It's not overly sentimental. It hits all the right notes. For example, there's a "dudes group" of guys that want to feel like they're still cool, that they still have swagger. They get together with their babies in the park on Saturdays to talk about manly things, like, "Look, I got to stay out until 8 o'clock last night."

DN: The book is a how-to. The movie doesn't sounds very instructional.

WMC: It shows you all the different ways babies show up. Sometimes they're planned. Sometimes they're big surprises. Sometimes you have to go to an adoption agency. The great thing is, you hold hands through the whole thing and get on that ride. No matter how unprepared you are, you start doing it. The truth is always funny.

DN: But is it just for, you know, parents?

WMC: No. If you've ever used the word "baby" in a sentence, you will like this movie. It's so relatable.

DN: So, I hate to ask this, but do you have kids yourself?
