I primarily watched this because of the starring role of a former student of mine. First, it is a good romantic comedy. Amy Schumer makes one, little, bad decision to try on a pregnancy bump and suddenly it is a lie she can't take back. The resulting interactions and relationships are really good and she doesn't want to lose them. Alas, she must. The humor and interactions are not brilliant or hilarious, but instead this is a sweet comedy. And as such, must end up 'happily ever after'. Second, I will comment on watching someone you know (or once knew) acting in film like this is strange. I still see the kid sitting in the back row of my Physics class laughing with her friends. So it was hard to see the character for the actor. But by the end, I bought it, which I will attribute more to good acting than my own ability to see deeply into characterization. Well done Bri.
4 stars (out of 5)
