"Expecting Amy" is a funny, frank, open book of a documentary - sort of like a stand-up-comic version of "Truth or Dare," only with the lead wearing a sweatpants instead of stilettos. Go to Full Review Kristen Lopez IndieWire 08/03/2020

At the end of the day though it's hard not to see "Expecting Amy" as little more than a first-time mom wanting to document her pregnancy in the biggest way possible. Go to Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 07/16/2020
The process of making babies can be, it turns out, strikingly terrible... It is the strangest, most painful and stressful and joyful thing I've ever done. Expecting Amy captures it to an uncanny degree. Go to Full Review Alex Behan The Post NZ 09/03/2021
While it's packed with jokes, the best stuff is between her and her husband Chris. Go to Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast 08/03/2020
That Schumer has the platform to say as much-and that she will likely be scrutinized for doing so-adds layers to Expecting Amy that the project doesn't shy away from. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Charlotte K @RT46162213 04/27/2023 So so good! Anyone who is newly postpartum will be so moved by this. So funny, raw, and heart-warming See more 08/11/2020 Expecting Amy was a fun, insightful look into Amy Schumers life. I honestly didn't know who Amy Schumer was until she started in Trainwreck which turned out to be one of my favorite comedy films of that year. She quickly became someone to watch out for for me. This documentary wasnt anything super special but just watching her life happen and her struggles and realness was something very special. See more 08/06/2020 A very modern and honest look at pregnancy and marriage, with the added benefit of Amy's hilarity. See more Read all reviews
