Variety

Pointed social commentary shines through in this uneven but amusing pregnancy farce.

Los Angeles Times

For all the implausible, coincidental and slapstick moments, there's a caustic veracity and trenchant social commentary in "Preggoland" that rings particularly true ...

New York Times

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.

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Film Stage

Part Todd Solondz, John Waters, Nicole Holofcener, and Bridesmaids, the bitter and cynical Preggoland is a unique comedy.

Rated: 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.

Rated: B

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.

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.

Not funny and boring enough that I turned it off after about 15 minutes.

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.
