Kinda Pregnant

A few moments of emotional honesty between mothers are the only bits worth watching, but they're too scant to save this mess.

The script of Kinda Pregnant, co-written by Schumer and Julie Paiva, misses chance after chance to explore the real emotional issues raised by its highly artificial premise.

As long as the emotions, terrors and humiliations are big, she’s funny, and [Schumer's] latest, “Kinda Pregnant,” gives her lots of opportunities to be funny.

A movie that has nothing profound to say about where we are as a culture. Maybe that's its own cultural statement: In times of upheaval, we just want to watch attractive funny people fall in love despite a series of misunderstandings and lies.

It tells you that even a commercial comedy that just wants to crack you up can, for a moment, be more than that, that it can reveal a bit of who we are. In “Kinda Pregnant,” it’s Amy Schumer’s go-for-broke honesty that’s funny.

This is a movie less interested in relationships than in the sundry items...

Kinda Pregnant is as focused on the reality as I should have expected a movie by two mothers, at least one of whom has definitely been pregnant, would be.

The script is an awkward mashup of incompatible comedic styles, as if a teenage Seth MacFarlane tried writing Nora Ephron fan fiction.

...a larger-than-life premise that is, for the most part, employed to genial, watchable effect by Spindel...

Amy Schumer's best film since TRAINWRECK. The use of Anne Sexton's poem grounds her character in a real way, while Brianne Howey and Will Forte also give memorable performances.
