Kinda Pregnant

Boring, predictable, unfunny, the only redeeming quality was the blonde lady from ginny and Georgia who is a pretty decent actress. Other than that, the movie was complete drivel not dissimilar to other stuff Amy Schumer has done except being pregnant myself at the moment I just couldn't relate to her or any of the other cringey pregnant themed characters. I'm starting to think Amy Schumer isn't acting but is actually just this sad little person that we are supposed to feel sorry for by laughing at because literally every film now she is playing the same "character." Was hoping this would be funny or atleast decent background noise while I browsed instagram - I didn't find myself laughing once.

Watching this movie one gets the impression that its characters mirror the way that Netflix views its subscriber base: a sad, slovenly, segment of Americans who aren't enjoying much about their lives, spouses, kids, jobs, friends or anything else. It's an unhappy movie for unhappy people, and it's very unlikely that jokes about female facial hair, bodily fluids, and pregnancy gross-out humor is going to cheer them up.

It's hard to even imagine why a writer would sit down to write something like this, or why an actor would sign on - other than to receive a paycheck. And that's the saddest part of all. The people who made this movie and the executives who green-lit it will all return to their homes in the Hollywood Hills, while the average Netflix subscriber will slink off to bed feeling a little more depressed and jaded than they did before. It's not what anyone needs in today's world. Netflix doesn't care about entertainment, they've admitted that. They make second-screen content to play in the background while you scroll your phone. And that's exactly what this is.

Watched it because I needed a laugh and like Amy Schumer but she does always play the same roles. It had a good storyline but tried to force laughs from swearing and crassness. Typical American girly comedy to make teenage girls giggle.

It did have potential but instead of making you feel good it got more and more pathetic. Urzila Carlson a New Zealand actress was thrown in much like Rebel Wilson is in all her American comedies to try to make it funny because of the accent. But again there was no reason for such exaggeration. Films are not a maths equation and if you put the same numbers you will get it right.

Amy Schumer gets caught in a pregnant lie as she can't keep the truth from eventually spilling out because she's not pregnant..

Kinda like dropping a deep fried turkey out between your legs when people are staring at you thinking you are pregnant. The first half of the movie is the same dumb pregnant humor, then it gets serious. Amy Schumer looks into Will Forte's eyes and recites a poem, Then Will kisses Amy.

It felt like it was supposed to be a serious dramatic romantic moment, but it was a little confusing as up to that point, everything had been dumb comedy. Almost like slapstick from the very beginning and then.....BAM it's a romance.... Not.

Like now it's not a comedy, it's a romantic drama.

It was just ok. Not the rollicking comedy I was expecting, especially given Amy Schumer and Will Forte of SNL fame. I personally think that the star of the movie was Urzila Carlson. She is a comic from New Zealand who has become very popular in New Zealand and Australia. I thought she was the best part of the whole movie. Hilarious! She should have got top billing for that performance, way funnier than Amy. I can't wait to see more of Urzila Carlson.

The two stars are for Urzila Carlson..

From the background info I expected this movie to be a very lightweight one, but though it would fill an evening without having to invest any emotions, thinking etc.

Well, it was a lot less than that even. It's not unwatchable, but just at the brink of it. The story is so thin, it basically does not exist, the acting is elementary school level, the production is barely there, the dialogue is tragic, the conflict is like it was written by a 3 year old, and the whole thing is standing on a collection of very cringe situational gags and jokes. It just doesn't work.

Still, if you really can't do much else with an hour and a half, you will survive watching this. But if you have a clogged up drain or something, you'll have more fun dealing with that.
