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..

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.
I didn't hate it but wasn't great or anything original,another story about someone faking a pregnancy. Yawn!
Seen Labor Pains years back,that covered this topic in a more silly way.
It's(kind of)relatable if you currently are,been or wish you were pregnant or are a twisted faker.
The jokes & so forth was cringe-worthy to even clichéd,however there was a few laughable moments.. Could even say plotholes due to how things went all due to a pregnancy lie,still a horrible message that deception pays off & so forth.
Feel they chose over-the-top actors,that actually think they are funny or good.. Acting was mediocre & cinematography decent.
A weekend popcorn flick if bored,yet not worth seeing again.

I kind of liked Amy Schumer, but I've only seen her in one movie before. The main character here is inconsistent and no one would put up with her, even if real life was a bad comedy. And why do all the jokes have to be so stupid? The premise is good and could have been a good foundation for a really great comedy... If only the jokes hadn't been so ridiculous and desperate. Some scenes are ok, or rather they start ok and then fall apart. It's inconsistent and not very smart and of course there is some sort of twirking in slow motion. I hope it ends well for the character. I don't know cause I stopped watching at 50.45 after yet another failed try to make me laugh.
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.
