by

The freshly released romantic comedy by Amy Schumer titled “Kinda Pregnant” has been met with disappointing ratings on Rotten Tomatoes after initial critiques, with one reviewer labeling it as “remarkably unfunny.

This week, the Netflix movie introduces Schumer’s character, Lainy, who pretends to be pregnant when she becomes envious of the attention her best friend, who is actually expecting, has been garnering.

Yet, upon encountering her ideal partner with the baby bump concealed, Lainy’s deception begins to unravel.

The movie titled “Kinda Pregnant” has received mixed reactions from critics, with a low rating of 22% based on 18 reviews compiled by review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes as of now.

According to FandomWire’s assessment, this film was mercilessly labeled as a “strikingly unamusing, significantly off-target, and painfully awkward comedy that could potentially be among the worst movies of 2025.

Here’s what some of the other critics have been saying:

The Hollywood Reporter

As a devoted admirer, I’d say that “Kinda Pregnant” tends to stick close to the surface, which undeniably increases the weight on its comedic elements. However, it must be acknowledged that “Kinda Pregnant” isn’t particularly renowned for its humor prowess either.

The Wrap

It’s long been thought that laughter acts as the finest remedy. Regrettably, it seems that the jokes in the latest Netflix comedy titled “Kinda Pregnant” have been withdrawn from circulation.

The Guardian

As a gamer, I’ve found that subtleties often get overshadowed by the intense and boisterous. In the case of Schumer’s approach, it’s all about power and over-the-top presentation, sometimes even leading to hilarious situations. However, I can’t help but wonder if this style has finally hit its peak.

Screen Rant

Somewhat Pregnant had potential to be a hilarious comedy, however, its crass humor and plotline tend to create an unpleasant and overwhelming tone throughout the film.

The AU Review

“An absolutely unfunny ‘comedy’ that wastes the talents of its capable cast.”

The film “Somewhat Pregnant” features the talents of Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Damon Wayans Jr., Brianne Howey, Alex Moffat, Joel David Moore, Lizze Broadway, and Urzila Carlson.

Kinda Pregnant is available to stream now on Netflix.
