Guy Lodge Variety 05/11/2015
Pointed social commentary shines through in this uneven but amusing pregnancy farce. Go to Full Review Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times 05/07/2015
For all the implausible, coincidental and slapstick moments, there's a caustic veracity and trenchant social commentary in "Preggoland" that rings particularly true ... Go to Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times 05/07/2015
The movie's flaw is that it mixes tones. Ruth, her relatives and her fellow workers are realistically played, but her gal-pal buddies are caricatures. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 02/03/2021
3.5/5
The movie's not-so-secret weapon is screenwriter and star Bennett. Relatable, even in her dark moments, she grounds the outlandish elements of the story, making them believable and poignant. Go to Full Review John Fink The Film Stage 03/12/2016

Part Todd Solondz, John Waters, Nicole Holofcener, and Bridesmaids, the bitter and cynical Preggoland is a unique comedy. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 05/14/2015
B
A compelling, periodically amusing look at conformity and misunderstanding, finding some fresh material to mine with a plot that's already informed a wide range of comedy projects. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Mar 14 Funny in 1 hour and 49 minutes. See more 12/25/2021 3.3 . Really liked the scene when the baby store person gave her a hug See more farah r @Farah 01/06/2017 A crazy hilarious movie. Sonja Bennet gave a great performance as a middle-aged loser pretending to be pregnant and facing the consequences of her lie. There are real laugh out loud moments and the story carries out excitingly as she struggles to keep up the act. Preggoland is funny, relatable, and simply good. See more 08/25/2015 I think the hook about "being left" by her friends would be much better use of the whole "boyfriend & family" stuff. Enjoyable movie, it doesn't look like a Hollywood movie, feels amateurish. See more 05/15/2015 Although its narrative isn't exactly fresh, Preggoland's premise is promising enough to have had its satirical potential tapped into with better filmmaking hands. Unfortunately, the film doesn't do as much as it could with the ideas it wants to touch on, and despite the efforts of Sonja Bennett - who makes this mediocre film somewhat watchable - it overall settles for a straight-to-DVD version of a Judd Apatow comedy that neatly wraps up all its complicated little problems by the end of the film. Full review at http://silverscreenfanatic.com/2015/05/09/preggoland/ See more 04/30/2015 A fine bit of comedy as a woman pretends that she is pregnant to reach that special place that her friends seem to be at.It is well crafted with great side performances by James Caan and a very funny Danny Trejo. Very entertaining. See more Read all reviews
