Kinda Pregnant

Netflix’s romantic comedy Kinda Pregnant brings together Amy Schumer, Will Forte, and Jillian Bell in a lighthearted yet slightly offbeat story about love, deception, and unexpected connections. Co-written by Schumer, the film follows Lainy (Schumer), whose carefully laid-out plan to settle down and start a family goes awry. In a desperate move, she fakes a pregnancy, leading to a web of lies—and ultimately, an accidental romance with her dream guy.

The movie delivered plenty of laughs, though some of the humor leant into awkward and unrealistic territory. The plot, while entertaining, did tread a predictable path at times. That said, Schumer and Forte’s on-screen chemistry kept things engaging. Lainy’s character development was well-executed, making her a likable and relatable protagonist. However, the supporting cast could have used more depth—I found myself less connected to their characters, which was a missed opportunity for the film to feel more well-rounded. 

Despite its flaws, Kinda Pregnant was an enjoyable rom-com with enough humor and heart to make it worth watching. If you’re looking for an easygoing, funny film with a solid lead performance, this one is a fun pick.
