Kinda Pregnant: A Hilarious Pregnancy Deception

As Valentine’s Day approaches, here are some movies that romantics can’t miss on Netflix. But fear not, if you’d rather avoid Cupid’s arrow, there are plenty of non-romantic options available too! It turns out that viewers want more than just romantic comedies during the season of affection. Luckily, Netflix offers a wide range of alternatives that its audience is sure to appreciate.

Apart from numerous romantic movies, the streaming platform will also offer some rather violent ones. One such movie, originating from a grisly Japanese comic book, may not appeal to everyone. However, enthusiasts of a popular live-action series on Netflix might find an upcoming animated spin-off intriguing, serving as a bridge until the show’s new season is released. Regardless of whether viewers are eagerly anticipating the romantic season or seeking a change of pace, Netflix has a film catering to their tastes next month.

Kinda Pregnant

Titled “Kinda Pregnant“, this comedy is penned by Julie Paiva and Amy Schumer, with Tyler Spindel at the helm as director. In it, we follow Lainy (portrayed by Amy Schumer), a woman whose aspirations for settling down and starting a family take an unexpected turn for the worse. As a result, she dons a fake baby bump and pretends to be pregnant. The greater the affection showered upon her, the more she revels in the favorable attention.

Yet, when she encounters her ideal man, it definitely adds complexity to the situation. Boasting an amusing ensemble of performers such as Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Brianne Howey, Lizze Broadway, Urzila Carlson, Chris Geere, Damon Wayans Jr., and Alex Moffat, Kinda Pregnant brings a fresh spin to the narrative for those looking forward to Valentine’s Day.

‘The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep’

In the realm of “The Witcher,” the adult-animated series titled “The Witcher: Deep-Sea Sirens” is a fantasy drama set within this universe. This narrative centers around Geralt of Rivia, portrayed by Doug Cockle, as he endeavors to prevent a conflict brewing between the land and the ocean. The storyline for this film is derived from the short story “A Little Sacrifice” found in Andrzej Sapkowski’s collection “Sword of Destiny“. This movie unfolds during the gap between Episodes 5 and 6 of the show’s inaugural season.

Following a series of assaults in coastal villages, Geralt takes up a task to track down and eliminate any beast or creature causing the havoc. Yet, as he strives to avoid further bloodshed, those who employed him appear to have their own agendas. Joining familiar figures such as Jaskier (played by Joey Batey) and Yennefer of Vengerberg (portrayed by Anya Chalotra), the animated movie will debut Essi Daven (performed by Christina Wren), another skilled and humorous bard. The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep premieres on February 11.

‘Honeymoon Crasher’

Stream on February 12

Titled “Honeymoon Crasher,” this French-language comedy revolves around a man, Lucas (Julien Frison), who finds himself on his honeymoon with an unexpected companion – his mother Lily (Michèle Laroque). After his fiancé bails at the altar to reconnect with her ex, Lucas is left with the honeymoon tickets. In a bid to salvage something from the situation, he decides to embark on the trip alone, only to have his mother tag along. This was supposed to be a romantic getaway for two, but circumstances have changed drastically.

Upon arrival at their hotel, Lucas and Lily are mistakenly treated as newlyweds. While Lily goes along with the charade, Lucas is mortified. Originally a Spanish comedy titled “Honeymoon With My Mother,” this reimagined version promises to deliver the same dose of side-splitting humor.

You can catch “Honeymoon Crasher” streaming on February 12th.

‘La Dolce Villa’

Stream on February 13

La Dolce Villa is a delightful romantic comedy that unfolds amidst the picturesque landscapes of Italy. This film, penned by Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy and helmed by Mark Waters, revolves around a man named Eric (Scott Foley), an American, who journeys to the Italian countryside in a bid to stop his daughter, Olivia (Maia Reficco), from pouring her fortune into a dilapidated villa that she miraculously acquired for just one euro.

Upon reaching his destination, it becomes clear that fate has different plans for him. Enchanted by the charm and allure of the nation, he unexpectedly stumbles upon a new mission and perhaps a budding romance with Francesca (Violante Placido). Meanwhile, Olivia could be on the brink of romance herself with Giovanni (Giuseppe Futia). This charming romantic comedy, La Dolce Villa, is perfect for Valentine’s Day viewing. La Dolce Villa will be streaming on February 13.

‘Demon City’

Stream on February 27

Under the guidance of Seiji Tanaka as writer and director, the film titled Demon City is a live-action rendition of the renowned Japanese comic, Oni Goroshi. The narrative follows the turbulent journey of Shuhei Sakata (played by Toma Ikuta), a ruthless assassin, who embarks on a quest for vengeance after the gruesome murders of his wife and daughter. This heartrending tale unfolds within the quaint provincial city of Shinjo, Yamagata, as Sakata tracks down those responsible for the tragic loss of his family.

In the brutal quest for retribution, he encounters a secretive gang of masked villains who manipulate Shinjo from behind the scenes. Given the graphic violence depicted in the original comic, it’s expected that the movie will maintain this trend. The cast of Demon City, one of Japan’s most popular productions, includes Matsuya Onoe, Masahiro Higashide, Masanobu Takashima, and Mio Tanaka. You can watch Demon City on February 27.
