Amy Schumer stars in Kinda Pregnant, a movie that feels like it was written during a baby shower and edited during a nap. Netflix tossed $15M at it and somehow still ended up with a punchline that overstayed its welcome. We walked in expecting garbage—and left with hot takes, real talk about pregnancy, and more than a few “yeah, that tracks” moments.
