Oh, look! It's another Amy Schumer movie. And this time she's telling a lie in order to get attention to make herself feel better. It's a real life biopic. What could possibly go wrong?
Kinda Pregnant is a hilarious romantic comedy from the geniuses that brought you Trainwreck and I Feel Pretty. There's rauncy humour, relatable drama and a genuine heartwarming story that's guaranteed to make you cry and smile by the end of it.
So, bring your kids, bring your gals and bring your pets. Valentine's Day is here and Christmas has come early for all movie lovers who have been starved for another great romcom since the previous weekend. It's Kinda Pregnant and It's Kinda Awesome!

What is Kinda Pregnant?
Kinda Pregnant is a 2025 American comedy film directed by Tyler Spindel, written by Julie Paiva and Amy Schumer, and starring Schumer alongside Jillian Bell, Brianne Howey, and Will Forte. It tells the story of a teacher who gets jealous when her colleagues are getting pregnant and purchases a fake pregnancy belly to pretend to be pregnant.
The film was released on Netflix on February 5, 2025.
In November 2023, it was announced that Amy Schumer was producing and starring in Kinda Pregnant for Netflix. Also producing are Adam Sandler, Tim Herlihy, Judit Maull, Kevin Grady, and Eli Thomas for Happy Madison Productions and Molly Sims for Something Happy Productions. In February 2024, Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Damon Wayans Jr., Brianne Howey, and Chris Geere joined the cast. The next month, Alex Moffat, Joel David Moore, Lizze Broadway, Urzila Carlson, and Francis Benhamou had been added.
In February and March 2024, principal photography took place in Brooklyn, New York.
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 24% of 37 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 3.9/10. The website's consensus reads: "Fitfully amusing and earnest without ever finding a comedic groove, Kinda Pregnant's best efforts can't overcome the issue that its story is kinda icky." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 40 out of 100, based on 15 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.
The Hollywood Reporter's Lovia Gyarkye described the film as "kinda dull". In her view, the film struggles to balance humor with its desired emotional depth regarding views on pregnancy. She felt that the plot was shallow, predictable, and unengaging and that its weak comedy and uninspired execution failed to leave a lasting impression. Similarly, Natalia Winkelman of The New York Times argued that the female characters' personal troubles detract from the movie's comedic moments and felt that their relationships were lackluster and underdeveloped.
And if you’re still reading this – hello.
