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..

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.

This movie is an absolute disaster from start to finish. The lead actress delivers one of the worst performances I've ever seen-flat, lifeless, and completely unconvincing. It felt like she was reading lines off a teleprompter with zero emotion. The script is uninspired, the pacing is painfully slow, and the dialogue is so awkward it's almost laughable. I lost interest within the first 10 minutes, and it only got worse from there. The plot goes nowhere, the supporting cast is forgettable, and the entire production feels low-effort. There's no suspense, no engaging moments, and absolutely no reason to sit through this train wreck. If you value your time, do yourself a favor and skip this mess-trust me, you're not missing anything except boredom and frustration.
In the nicest way possible, I did feel abit uncomfortable with what was on-display, and the Humour wasn't as presumed either. I had difficulties watching the entire thing so I couldn't give a full verdict, but for me it just wouldn't be the type of film I'd see again if I'm being perfectly honest, and you know what they say, "Honesty is the best policy".
For me their were too many sex Jokes, and too many words that seemed to involve hairs and other related things,I was expecting some Sex Jokes. But I'd say atleast TONE it down, because my god this was 65% of the film, and that's too much for my liking. Theirs too many Jokes and Junenile words that it just became slightly off-putting. And It doesn't have any story or plot to back up what you see on Screen.
For example, we seem to jump from Plot point to plot point without any real interesting dialogue because most of it is absurd, and nothing is really ever resolved in that singular scene. We move either too quickly, or fairly well-done in the fact the scenes been finished. Which means theirs Logical flaws and the story has pacing issues. These are bad signs when you want to make a good film that has decent jokes that doesn't just follow one formula, re-change some of the script, then have a trip with the papers, and then run-along with it and make the Joke slightly different each time. It's a good thing if you do like Juvenile jokes all-the-time, it's a bad thing if it becomes over used and on the verge of unfunny-Ness.
The pacing is slightly confusing with some scenes that are perfectly developed and lasts for a good amount of time, to then a scene that'll be so quick you won't have time to even say "Hello" in a quirky mannerism to hide the confusion of what's happening.
I rate this a 3 because the Movie doesn't engage me on any-level and the Jokes and scenes were off-putting. Eat some Crisps and Candy and leave the film be.

Have you ever told a lie that gets way out of hand? Like saying you know how to juggle at a party, only to end up bruised and covered in broken glass? Kinda Pregnant takes that concept, which could've been a short Family Guy cutaway, then stretches it into a 90-minute movie, and somehow makes it even more painful to sit through.
Amy Schumer stars as Lainy, a woman who starts faking a pregnancy after realizing the world treats expectant mothers better than sad, single teachers. It's a premise that could have led to some sharp social satire or, at the very least, a dumb-but-fun comedy. Instead, we get a movie that mistakes "gross" for "hilarious" and "chaotic" for "entertaining."
There are plenty of opportunities for laughs-Schumer's character sets a classroom on fire, tries to seduce a guy while hiding a fake baby bump, and even shoves a rotisserie chicken down her dress. But instead of landing like clever absurdity, it all just feels like someone throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks. (Spoiler: it doesn't.)
The supporting cast, including Jillian Bell, Brianne Howey, and Will Forte are all talented comedies. They do their best, but they're stranded in a script that feels like a series of rejected SNL sketches. Even Schumer, who has solid comedic chops, seems to be struggling with material that isn't nearly as funny as the movie thinks it is.
Look, I'm not against gross-out humor-I love Big Mouth because it taps into relatable experiences. But Kinda Pregnant just goes for random shock value without any wit or insight. It's like watching a stand-up comic bomb, only they won't get off the stage. By the time the movie ends with a runaway Zamboni causing thousands of dollars in property damage (yes, really), I was half asleep.
There are worse ways to spend your time, but there are way better ones, too. Like actually learning to juggle.
