The new comedy of Amy Schumer affirms the number 1 position in the best Netflix lists

Did you hear? Amy Schumer is about to be “a little pregnant.” This is how Netflix Tudum He chose to present the new comedian movie, and although such a headline may seem so confusing that no one saw the film, the opposite has happened in the king of the transmission platforms.

According to the site, the film is “about a woman who pretends a pregnancy, and maybe she falls in love”, which I cannot avoid thinking that it is everything that was said at the launch meeting before it obtained the green light. Because? Because “a little pregnant” has a critical score of 22% in Rotten tomatoes And perhaps even more condemnatory, a audience score of 23%. Which is another way of saying that we have another medium transmission movie in our hands.

It may be unfair to be so derogatory. After all, the great Will Forte is in “A little pregnant”, and is produced by Happy Madison Company by Adam Sandler. Ok, maybe that last point is not the best way to sell it. How about this? Although she has produced some stand-up specials for the streamer, Schumer’s most recent Netflix appearance was in the debut as a very dumb director of Jerry Seinfeld “Sin rubrars”, the movie about pop-tarts. Ok, that will probably not work either.

But at the end of the day, Schumer, who abandoned “Barbie” in 2017, delivered a mass successful film, since Netflix crowds have broadcast “a little pregnant” to the top of the most viewed films lists.

What is exactly “a little pregnant”? It is a comedy by the director of “The Outsows” Tyler Spindel who sees Amy Schumer play Lainy Newton, a woman who decides to use a false bulge after being jealous of her best friend’s pregnancy. Apparently, Lainy’s little adventure ends with her falling through the boy of her dreams, so there is quite “Rom” to complement the “com here. All this is a formula for the success of Netflix too. “A little pregnant” arrived in Netflix on February 5, 2025, and according to FlixpatrolA site that tracks audience numbers through transmission services, the film has become a global success.

At the time of writing this article, Schumer’s comedy is the number one film in 48 countries, including the United States, where it has been in the first place since the day after arriving at the service. In fact, in those 48 countries, “a little pregnant” has been number one since its debut in 33 of them. As of February 10, 2025, “a little pregnant” is drawing into 92 countries, with only Vietnam refusing to consent to Schumer’s comedy styles, although the country saw it enough to send it to the eighth and tenth place For a few days. In addition, the film is currently number two in 24 other countries, suggesting that we could see that it occupies the first place in even more markets as the week takes place.

In general, “a little pregnant” has done enough to reach the number one place in the Global Top 10 list, which makes this an undeniable success for all involved. That is, if it weren’t for those reviews …

It is always a fight to discover if it is worth watching movies that reach the transmission lists. Recently, the horror comedy, starring Anya Taylor-Joy, “The Menu” dominated the best Netflix lists. The “The Menu” review of the film praised him as a deliciously evil party, which suggests that these streamers can serve some quality things from time to time. However, that same week he saw the failure of Tom Hanks “here” also reached the lists of Netflix, so the duality of our transmission age once again relieved.

But “a little pregnant” is different from any of these two films, since it is a Netflix original. That automatically increases the alarms of alarms, since this is the streamer responsible for “Lift” by Kevin Hart, “The Gray Man” by Kevin Hart, “The Gray Man”, and a series of other forgettable films instantly The “N.” brand In fact, Amy Schumer is not having a moment as important with critics as in Netflix, and critics download the film as, well, a bit annoying.

Write to Rogerebert.comChristy Lemire assumed that “almost all in this movie are upset all the time”, while The guardianAdrian Horton lamented what is “an outdated and mostly restless attempt to bring back the broad study comedy.” Some critics were more complementary, with Variety‘S Owen Gleiberman praising the “honesty of being noisy” by Schumer and News DayRafer Guzman labeling the movie “An entertaining riff about the tribulations of pregnancy.”

Then, take what he wants and may give Schumer the opportunity to beat him with his last effort. Or could go to Prime Video, where Jennifer López’s action comedy is similarly dominating the lists. Or, of course, I could take a page from Vietnam’s play book and not pay attention to any of that!
