Kinda Pregnant: The Mother of All Lies – A Comedy That Delivers More Than Expected

In Kinda Pregnant (2025), Amy Schumer hilariously embodies Lainy Newton, a woman so envious of her best friend’s pregnancy that she fakes one of her own—only to find herself tangled in a web of unexpected romance and escalating chaos. What starts as a lighthearted attempt to fit in soon turns into an absurd yet touching journey as Lainy navigates baby showers, prenatal yoga, and awkward parenting advice, all while trying to keep her charade intact. Directed with sharp comedic timing, the film thrives on Schumer’s signature wit and a supporting cast that includes Jillian Bell, Will Forte, and Damon Wayans Jr., each adding layers of charm and absurdity to Lainy’s predicament.

But beyond the laughs, Kinda Pregnant cleverly explores deeper themes of insecurity, societal expectations, and the desperate lengths people go to for love and validation. As Lainy stumbles into an unexpected romance with the too-good-to-be-true Josh (Forte), the film evolves into a heartfelt rom-com that challenges the notion of “fake it till you make it.” Packed with outrageous moments, biting humor, and an emotional core that sneaks up on you, this comedy delivers more than just laughs—it delivers a relatable, side-splitting reflection on modern womanhood and self-worth.
