‘Kinda pregnant’ Review: The animal’s stomach

If the demand for the pandemic then a series of horror films about the misery of motherhood, another sub -genre makes a comeback: Pregnancy Comedy. Like “Babes” before that, Tyler Spindel takes the “kinda pregnant” (on Netflix) births, breeding and regretting and spinning them in a race.

With a wild Amy Schumer starring, this clunker is opened by a movie with a first act that appears Filched from “Legally Blonde”: A marriage proposal that is not. The romantic Letdown – who finds our heroine, Lainy (Schumer), screaming in Spanx in public – coincides with the pregnancy of her bestie, Kate (Jillian Bell). What is left to do to do anything but donate a silicone stomach in envy?

The potential of this bisarre prenatal cosplay for battle – and burns and a stinging wound – to Lainy’s false stomach is not overlooked, even if the traditional cycle of the seasons seems to have been. Despite tracking Kate’s pregnancy from autumn to spring, the film’s weather and dressing is everywhere.

Most irregularly, the world of “kinda pregnant” is filled with dopey men and despairing women whose torment, parents or otherwise creates a landmine of comedy -Duds. Will Forte, who plays a deus ex man-child, manages to pull off a few fun lines and some real chemistry with Schumer. But this is a movie that is less interested in relationships than in the various objects, from a balloon to a rotisserie chicken that Lainy can fill under her shirt to fake a baby pump.
