Netflix is gearing up to bring some laughter this February with the release of Kinda Pregnant, a comedy that promises to deliver the laughs with its quirky premise and star-studded cast. Directed by Tyler Spindel and co-written by Amy Schumer and Julie Paiva, the film follows the story of Lainy (played by Schumer), who, feeling a little envious of her best friend’s pregnancy, decides to wear a fake baby bump. Little does she know, this seemingly harmless act leads her to an unexpected romantic encounter with the man of her dreams.

The newly released trailer for Kinda Pregnant teases an uproarious series of events as Lainy’s decision to fake a pregnancy snowballs into hilarious and awkward situations. What starts as a mischievous attempt to steal the spotlight turns into something much more profound, as she navigates the ups and downs of life, love, and unexpected consequences. The film’s blend of light-hearted humor and heartwarming moments is sure to resonate with fans of feel-good comedies.

Alongside Amy Schumer, the film stars Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Damon Wayans Jr., Brianne Howey, Alex Moffat, Joel David Moore, Lizze Broadway, Urzila Carlson, and Francis Benhamou, each bringing their unique flair to the ensemble cast. The chemistry among the cast members, particularly Schumer and Bell, is already evident in the trailer, promising a comedic romp that fans will be talking about long after the credits roll.

Based on a story by Julie Paiva, Kinda Pregnant is set to be a light-hearted, laugh-out-loud exploration of the absurdities of life and relationships, with a hilarious twist on the theme of pregnancy. The film is set to stream exclusively on Netflix starting February 5, 2024, so mark your calendars for a comedy you won’t want to miss!
In the Kinda Pregnant trailer, expecting a baby has its perks. For Amy Schumer‘s Lainy, who straps on a prosthetic tummy every morning, it means random acts of kindness, like strangers offering their seats or issuing compliments. It’s a well-kept secret, until she falls belly first at a yoga class.

“Did you ever tell such a big lie you don’t know how to get out of it,” Schumer says in the trailer, released Tuesday.

Kinda Pregnant, a romantic comedy heading to Netflix Feb. 5, follows Lainy, who grows envious of her pregnant best friend, played by Brianne Howey, and decides to sport a fake belly. All goes well, until she accidentally meets her dream man dressed as an expecting mother. Tyler Spindel (The Wrong Missy) directs Kinda Pregnant, with Julie Paiva and Amy Schumer writing the screenplay.

The cast includes Jillian Bell (22 Jump Street), Will Forte (MacGruber), Damon Wayans Jr. (Let’s Be Cops), Alex Moffat (Hollidate), Joel David Moore (Avatar), Lizze Broadway (Ghosted), Urzila Carlson (Urzila Carlson: Overqualified Loser), and Francis Benhamou (Arranged).

Her leading role in Kinda Pregnant follows the announcement of her Cushing Syndrome diagnosis, which Schumer revealed on Jessica Yellin’s “News Not Noise” newsletter last February. The announcement followed fans speculation around her “puffier” face.

“The shaming and criticism of our ever-changing bodies is something I have dealt with and witnessed for a long time,” Schumer previously said. “I want so much for women to love themselves and be relentless when fighting for their own health in a system that usually doesn’t believe them.”

The comedy film marks the latest Schumer-led project since co-starring with Michael Cera in Life & Beth, where she plays a woman looking for a fresh start after the loss of her mother. In 2022, Schumer released the fifth season of her sketch comedy show Inside Amy Schumer, after a six-year hiatus.
Netflix on Tuesday morning unveiled the first trailer for Kinda Pregnant, its Happy Madison rom-com starring Amy Schumer, which is slated to premiere on the service ahead of Valentine’s Day, on February 5.

In the film written by Julie Paiva and Schumer, the latter plays Lainy, who due to jealousy over her best friend’s pregnancy, begins wearing a fake baby bump… before accidentally meeting the man of her dreams. Tyler Spindel (The Out-Laws) is the director of the project, which also stars Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Damon Wayans Jr., and more.

Amy Schumer pretends she’s a mom-to-be in the new trailer for Netflix‘s R-rated comedy “Kinda Pregnant.”

In the film, Schumer plays Lainy Newton, a newly single teacher who wants to be a mother. So, she understandably gets a little jealous after discovering her best friend, Kate (Jillian Bell), is pregnant, leading Lainy to tell a slight fabrication… in the form of donning a fake baby bump. Her deception is complicated by the fact that she meets her dream man (Will Forte) while acting like she’s with child.

“Do you ever tell, like, such a big lie you don’t know how to get out of it?” she asks in the trailer. Lainy commits to her fabrication, though, going along with the gestation of her fake baby and new relationship at the same time.

As she gets closer to Forte’s character, Lainy asks if he’s ever dated someone who’s knocked up. “You’re the least pregnant person I’ve ever dated,” he jokes. “I want them to be, like, two weeks away from dropping.”

All the while, Lainy puts the bump through the ringer, dropping into splits at the club, face-planting while doing yoga and accidentally igniting a flame on her midsection. It seems only one of Lainy’s confidants, a coworker (comedian Urzila Carlson), knows the truth — and she lets her friend have it: “How dare you walk around with that fake fucking belly? What if someone you know catches you?”

Viewers will inevitably find out when “Kinda Pregnant” drops Feb. 5 on Netflix. Tyler Spindel, the nephew of Adam Sandler, directed the film, which was produced by Sandler’s company Happy Madison. Damon Wayans Jr., Brianne Howey, Alex Moffat, Joel David Moore and Lizze Broadway round out the cast.

Schumer broke out in the 2015 comedy “Trainwreck,” which became a box office hit, before starring in 2017’s “Snatched” with Goldie Hawn and 2018’s “I Feel Pretty” alongside Michelle Williams. On the small screen, she created several shows, including the sketch comedy series “Inside Amy Schumer,” Food Network’s “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook” and “Expecting Amy,” a three-part documentary about her (real) nauseating pregnancy. More recently, she debuted her Hulu comedy “Life & Beth,” which ran for two seasons. She voiced a character in John Krasinski’s family friendly “IF” and played a small role in Jerry Seinfeld’s Pop-Tart origin story “Unfrosted,” but “Kinda Pregnant” marks Schumer’s first starring film role since “I Feel Pretty.”

“I’m striving for it to be one of the 10 funniest movies of my lifetime,” she told Variety of “Kinda Pregnant,” which she helped write. “I think it’s going to be as funny as ‘Trainwreck.’”
