Amy Shumor is back with another dose of her signature humor, but this time, jokes are not working yet.

Kinda pregnant is a film that tries to become a heart -wrenching comedy about friendship and motherhood, but instead, it seems that like a sICM episode spread over an hour and a half hours. With a plot thinner than a bacon strip, the film barely registers a heartbeat.

Shumor plays a woman, a true dream of whom a child is a child. On the other hand, his best friend, Kate (Jillian Bell), was not planning at all on paternity, but becomes pregnant anyway – which disappoints Lenny. She is overwhelmed and in a whisper, she asks her best friend to ‘leave the child’.

What is the solution to deal with this unexpected emotional crisis? A fully rational, completely appropriate, and not-all absurd scheme: Straping on a fake baby bump and pretending to be pregnant himself. Thus there is a series of comedic accident, misunderstanding, and, well … not much.

Aadhaar is the best in itself. We have seen countless films searching for the chaos of pregnancy (knocking, what are you expecting when you are expecting), but fail to add anything new to a little pregnant conversation.

Instead, it falls on the normal brand of Shumar’s self-deprived humor and raw jokes, which, at this point, feels like a routine that he performed five years ago. Comedy is so estimated that you can listen to the punchline almost before the characters say.

What actor has done with the materials characterized by Ginni and Ginni’s Brian Howe and SNL’s Will Forte, but the script simply does not give them enough to shine. Jillian Bell, in particular, is criminally reduced, the auxiliary is very rare to play the best friend. Forte, usually a visible-tingling, barely finds a moment to flex your comic chops.

But the real issue is not just a lack of laughter – it is a lack of depth. The film brushs the emotional weight of pregnancy and the complexities of friendship that people enter different life stages.

Instead of offering any real insight, it all turns into a gag, often at the cost of emotional intelligence. The reaction to your friend’s pregnancy is less ‘reliable conflict’ and more ‘infant system’, which makes it difficult to sympathize with his plight.

As long as the credit rolls, ‘Is it this?’ Nothing about the film Lingers-no standout performance, no memorable one-liners, there is no heartfelt moment to reduce comedy. Kinda could have been an entertaining exploration of pregnant female friendship and maternity concerns around, but instead, it plays like a half-cooked sketch that never grows completely.

If you are looking for a comedy about pregnancy that actually distributes, then you are restarting the baby of the Bridge Jones. This one? It is the best alone.
