Unpregnant Reviews
This story was clearly made by women, for women.
| Original Score: A | Jul 8, 2024
Haley Lu Richardson and Barbie Ferreira make an excellent team in this buddy film, which tackles the topic of abortion in a way that touches on the intricacies of choice while also making the process seem less daunting than other films.

"Unpregnant" breaks new ground by bringing the subject of abortion to the foreground of a teen-centered PG-13 comedy. Of course, abortion itself is not the laughing matter; rather, it’s the absurdity of the journey the girls must make to obtain one.

Unpregnant tackles touchy topics with a buoyant balance of hilarity and heart, handled honorably by its two laudable leading ladies.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022
An amusing road trip comedy that feels more comfortable making jokes than observations about the real life challenges of health-care. The message is there, but the jokes come first. Barbie Ferreira, however, is faultless.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 3, 2022
Unpregnant is often riotously funny and affecting in its portrait of young women defying several forces trying to keep them from making their own choices.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 17, 2022
While Richardson plays it straight, Ferreira runs riot in her debut role, and it feels like you're watching the birth of a star like seeing Ryan Reynolds in Van Wilder or Jonah Hill in Superbad.

Unpregnant is rightly marketed as a comedy, but there are tough lessons wrapped up in its humor. It's the story of a complicated journey 990 miles to the nearest abortion clinic for a mother-to-be who's also a minor.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 8, 2021
Who would have thought a film about teens crossing state lines to get an abortion could be so fun, madcap, and kooky?

Unpregnant still manages to accomplish a lot with its funny and affecting script bolstered by two formidable performances by Richardson and Ferriera. But it also illustrates why diversity in the abortion film genre is so urgent.
| Mar 16, 2021
It pulls back from the brink and what emerges is a funny, moving coming-of-age story featuring two winning performances by Richardson and Ferreira.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 24, 2021
While Unpregnant mostly is about a teen-female friendship, the polarizing topic of abortion never is far away from the proceedings.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 21, 2021
While it tackles a sensitive subject, it also highlights Richardson and Ferreira's incredible chemistry.
| Feb 10, 2021
Unpregnant has two great performances by young actors on the rise and a message about friendship that never goes out of style.
| Feb 5, 2021
Richardson is a joy as always, but Ferreira is a revelation, adding layers of depth to what could have easily been a one note sidekick character, and the two make for a fantastic duo that recall the pairings of Superbad and Booksmart.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 3, 2020
It's not easy to take a creative spin when it comes to important women's liberation issues and while Unpregnant is flawed, the fact that this movie exists at all should be applauded.
| Original Score: 2.5 / 5 | Oct 8, 2020
Unpregnant is funny and sweet without being cloying, and even in its most uneven moments, is saved by the charisma of its lead actresses.
| Oct 3, 2020
If the modern crop of teen comedies seems too sanitized, pandering and out-of-touch, Unpregnant is a sign of progress.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 2, 2020
BFF road movie tackles abortion; language, sex.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2020
Presenting itself as a good time road trip teen comedy, Unpregnant threads poignancy underneath its wackiness; depicting a woman's struggle to maintain independence over her own body in the timeliest of ways.
| Original Score: 4.25/5 | Sep 15, 2020
