We have by now become accustomed to the lengths some movie characters will go to keep a good comedy lie going. But it91裸聊视频檚 still a special kind of feat when , playing a baby-mad single woman who fakes a baby bump in 91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant,91裸聊视频� is so desperate to maintain the fiction that she shoves a roast turkey up her dress.

You might be thinking: This is too ridiculous. The stuffing, alone. But if we bought 91裸聊视频淪ome Like it Hot91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淢rs. Doubtfire,91裸聊视频� I see no reason to quibble with the set-up of 91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant,91裸聊视频� a funny and often perceptive satire on motherhood, both real and pretend.

91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant,91裸聊视频� which debuted Wednesday on Netflix, is a kinda throwback comedy. Like 91裸聊视频�40-Year-Old Virgin91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淲edding Crashers,91裸聊视频� you can basically get the movie just from its title.

But like any good high-concept comedy, 91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant91裸聊视频� is predominantly a far-fetched way for its star and co-writer, Schumer, to riff frankly on her chosen topic. Here, that91裸聊视频檚 the wide gamut of pregnancy experience 91裸聊视频� the body changes, the gender reveal parties, the personal jealousies 91裸聊视频� all while mixing in a healthy amount of pseudo-pregnant pratfalls.

It91裸聊视频檚 been a decade since Schumer was essentially launched as a movie star in the But 91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant,91裸聊视频� which Schumer wrote with Julie Paiva, almost as adeptly channels Schumer91裸聊视频檚 comic voice 91裸聊视频� the one that made the sketch series 91裸聊视频淚nside Amy Schumer91裸聊视频� so great.

The movie91裸聊视频檚 opening flashes back to Lainey (Schumer) as a child playing with dolls and imagining herself a mother-to-be. So committed is she to the role that Lainey, in mock-labor, screams at her friend and then politely apologies: 91裸聊视频淪orry, but the expectant mother often lashes out at her support system.91裸聊视频�

But as middle age approaches, Lainey, a high school teacher in Brooklyn, isn91裸聊视频檛 close to her dream. At the dinner where she suspects 91裸聊视频� no, is so certain that she tears open the dessert looking for a ring 91裸聊视频� that her longtime boyfriend (Damon Wayans Jr.) is going to pop the question, he instead asks her to join a threesome. Back at school, Lainey91裸聊视频檚 school lesson on 91裸聊视频淩omeo and Juliet91裸聊视频� turns darkly cynical.

Things are even worse when Lainey91裸聊视频檚 married best friend (Jillian Bell) divulges that she91裸聊视频檚 pregnant. 91裸聊视频淕et rid of it!91裸聊视频� blurts Lainey before apologizing. When the pair later go clothes shopping, Lainey absentmindedly tries on belly padding. The saleswoman is instantly nice to her, offering a burrito and a foot rub. 91裸聊视频淲ho91裸聊视频檚 the father?91裸聊视频� she asks. 91裸聊视频淒oor dash,91裸聊视频� responds Lainey before adding, 91裸聊视频渄river.91裸聊视频�

Much of the fun in 91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant91裸聊视频� is watching Lainey come up with increasingly ridiculous lies as she tries to pull off the pregnant act. (After accidentally picking Thanksgiving as her time of inception, Lainey digs a deeper hole by suggesting it happened at 91裸聊视频渁 Black Friday Eve sale.91裸聊视频�)

But the ruse becomes more difficult when she, during a pregnant workout class, meets a woman (Brianne Howey, refreshingly authentic) she genuinely likes and wants to be friends with. Even more complicated: Lainey starts falling for another guy she first meets at a coffee shop ( ).

In a movie filled with funny people (others include Urzila Carlson as a guidance counselor, and Alex Moffat as a idiotic father-to-be) Forte is an especially good presence in 91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant.91裸聊视频� For a performer of such madcap absurdity, Forte fits in remarkably naturally in a more rom-com setting. He91裸聊视频檚 also got a wonderfully ridiculous occupation, even by rom-com standards, driving a Zamboni in Central Park.

You can probably guess how 91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant91裸聊视频� goes from here. Director Tyler Spindel, nephew to (a producer on the film), doesn91裸聊视频檛 do anything to advance the movie comedy, a languishing proposition in recent years with . But he crucially gives his performers plenty of space to be themselves, and Lainey91裸聊视频檚 desperate desire to have a family comes across as both over-the-top and genuine.

If 91裸聊视频淜nocked Up91裸聊视频� captured the comedy of getting unexpectedly pregnant, 91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant91裸聊视频� embodies the pain of wishing you were.

91裸聊视频淜inda Pregnant,91裸聊视频� a Netflix release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for sexual content, language throughout and drug use. Running time: 97 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
