Starring: Lindsay Lohan, Luke Kirby, Chris Parnell
The Lie Returns for an Encore.
Seventeen years ago, a desperate lie saved a job and started a romance. Now, in Labor Pains 2: False Alarm, Thea Clayhill (Lindsay Lohan) finds that history has a wicked sense of humor. Thea is no longer the struggling assistant; she is the powerhouse CEO of her own publishing empire, having built a career on grit and creativity. However, her company is on the verge of a massive, career-defining merger with a conservative, family-values media conglomerate. The deal hangs by a thread, contingent entirely on Thea’s “maternal relatability” and her image as a nurturing family woman.
During a high-stakes meeting, a simple bout of indigestion and a loose blouse lead to a catastrophic misunderstanding. The eager investors immediately assume Thea is glowing with a “miracle baby” at forty. Terrified of losing the deal that would secure her family’s future, Thea makes the fatal mistake of not correcting them. Suddenly, she is thrust back into the nightmare she thought she left behind nearly two decades ago.
Mid-Life Crisis Meets Maternity Wear.
Lindsay Lohan returns with her signature physical comedy and charm, navigating the absolute chaos of a mid-life career crisis while frantically digging her old foam belly out of storage. She must juggle board meetings, ultrasounds, and baby showers, all while terrified that her “geriatric pregnancy” ruse will be exposed. Luke Kirby is back as her charming, devoted, but perpetually bewildered husband, Nick. He watches in horror as his wife starts eating pickles and ice cream for show, unable to comprehend why they are reliving their chaotic courtship. Meanwhile, Chris Parnell returns as the neurotic, profit-hungry Jerry, who immediately tries to monetize the situation by selling a book deal about “The Miracle of Mid-Life Motherhood.”
Double the Bumps, Double the Trouble.
The chaos reaches a fever pitch when Thea’s rebellious, precocious teenage daughter stumbles upon her mother’s secret past—and her current lie. Instead of exposing her mom, she sees an opportunity. Desperate to avoid being shipped off to a strict boarding school, the daughter decides to fake her own pregnancy.
Suddenly, the Clayhill household is a war zone of deception. Thea is caught between maintaining her own corporate lie and dealing with her daughter’s calculated rebellion. With suspicious investors scrutinizing their every move and a tabloid reporter sniffing around for a scoop, Thea must manage two fake bumps, a husband on the verge of a breakdown, and a truth that is ready to burst at any moment. Labor Pains 2 is a hilarious comedy of errors proving that while labor is painful, the cover-up is absolutely excruciating.
