Kinda the Worst Movie of the Year
Some movies are bad, and then thereโs Kinda Pregnantโa film so painfully unfunny and misguided that itโs almost offensive. What should have been a lighthearted comedy is instead a cringeworthy, tone-deaf disaster with some of the worst writing Iโve seen in years.
Letโs start with the so-called humor. The film leans way too hard into shock value, including multiple tasteless abortion jokes that arenโt just unfunny but downright uncomfortable. Itโs like the writers thought they were being edgy, but instead, they just come across as clueless and desperate for laughs.
Then thereโs the cast of unlikeable characters. Amy Schumer, who has somehow convinced Hollywood sheโs funny, gives another grating, one-note performance that makes her character unbearable. She spends most of the movie being selfish, mean-spirited, and making jokes that barely qualify as humor.
And donโt even get me started on the male lead. Heโs the ultimate wet blanketโweak, spineless, and devoid of personality. He spends the entire movie whining, getting walked all over, and somehow still being written as the โnice guyโ weโre supposed to root for. Spoiler: we donโt.
By the time the movie tries to force some emotional payoff, itโs far too late. These people are horrible, the writing is lazy, and the humor is bottom-of-the-barrel. Avoid this movie at all costs.
