Unpregnant (2020) - Movie Review
Based on the novel “Unpregnant” by Jenni Hendriks and Ted Caplan
CW: Subject of abortion.
Veronica Clarke (Haley Lu Richardson) is a 17 year old high school student who finds out that she’s pregnant, however based on the laws in Missouri and growing up in a very religious household, she decides to travel out of state to potentially take care of the situation. She enlists the help of her former best friend Bailey Butler (Barbie Ferreira) because when rumors fly and your current friends are at the center of the investigation, you kinda need someone on the outside that you can trust. The two then set out on a road trip to really test who they are as humans.
Now I did not read the book, but I had heard of it and seen it at the library, so I knew it was becoming a movie, I just can’t tell you whether it was true to the book or not. Here’s what I can tell you though, Unpregnant was a decent teen buddy movie. It’s a “let’s get the old gang back together because the current situation ain’t it and I need real people,” kind of movie. It’s also fairly honest about people with uteruses and the length they may have to go to for bodily autonomy, especially before they’re adults. Note: This movie and it’s book were made before the overturning of Roe vs Wade, however I think its subject matter is just as timely now as it was back in 2020 and way before that.
I think most people will agree with me when I say that one of the better parts of the movie is that most of the good and safe people in the film were all either POC or LGBTQ. Of course that’s putting a lot of the saving of the white woman on POC and LGBTQ people, for me though, it just gave more of an irony vibe that I could smile at. Like yes you should trust the cool lesbian friend or the random guy you just met and the Black man who is hiding from the government.
To go along with that, this story is still riding on a ton of privilege. They poke a lot at the “safeness” of the road trip that these girls are on, to get us to laugh, but we all know that in real life the danger of a trip like that, for the reason they’re taking it, is so much more elevated and less comical. Not saying that it wasn’t an enjoyable film, just that it was done through a lighter YA book lens and we have to grade the curve on that. There are very serious chunks of the movie that are done fairly well, but then there are also BIG comedy scenes (probably to break the seriousness up) that kinda bring things down a little bit.
Unpregnant is in most part about friendship and conquering fears. It fits in right along with other teen, coming-of-age movies that have been made in the last like 8 years or so and if you’ve enjoyed any of those I think you’ll like this one too.

Soundtrack Single Shout-Out:
I Love Me Too - Kirby
I realized that before anything else, I’d actually heard of this movie by way of the artist Kirby doing an episode of The Terrell Show and introducing me to her and then this song being introduced to me shortly after. Basically I’m just here to shout out the fantastic Kirby, who’s written many of your favorite pop songs and that best song on the Unpregnant soundtrack. I love this song so much and if you need a new self-love anthem, you are more than welcome!

Every day I'm forced to remember that "The Real Sugar Baby" is a thing that exists and cringe.
BLAST FROM THE PAST LMAO
If anyone isn't aware, Stephanie Beard (aka Sugar Lyn Beard) was the dub voice of Chibiusa.... sorry, Rini for Cloverway's dub of Sailor Moon S and SuperS. At some point she released a parody song of Eminem's song "The Real Slim Shady" called "The Real Sugar Baby" that quickly became associated with Chibiusa/Rini, along with other cute anime characters.
I never even watched the original Sailor Moon dub or had any association with Stephanie Beard but 13-year-old me had this song on my iPod bc I saw AMVs of it on Youtube lmaoooooooo

Rating chibiusa's voices
I did usagi so I'm gonna do her pride and joy her awesome daughter Chibiusa from Japanese to dic to cloverway to crystal to viz
Kae Araki: Obviously my favorite chibiusa, adorable voice but still has some sassiness to spice it all out so it's not too sickenly adorable (Matsuri's japanese voice from strawberry marshmallow take notes!) The best chibi 10/10
Tracey Moore: She's only fine in R season, but in the S and Super S movie not so much considering that in those movies she's not 6-7 anymore Chibiusa is around 9-10 so the bratty Angelica pickles voice doesn't really work as much. She's not too bad but not my favorite.
Sugar Lyn Beard: Now this is my favorite English chibiusa voice. She's absolutely adorable and is one of the few Cloverway voices that are actually not bad. The only times her voice is weak is when she has to scream in fear (That one scene where she's screaming in pain while Nehelenia is grabbing her dream mirror for example sounds like she's moaning...XD) I wish they had brought her back for the viz redub
Misato Fukuen: As much as I usually hate it when reboots/remakes/whatever you call crystal replace the entire original cast (Even worse in crystal's case because they only brought one voice back and it's usagi...) but Misato actually does good as Chibiusa. I like her voice sure it's no Kae Araki but it's not terrible.
Sandy Fox: Same thing with stephanie sheh, most of the time I'm not really used to her voice. But I did like her role as Marie in hare + guu. But in comedic scenes she shines, tho serious scenes from what I've seen not as great.
TL;DR Kae Araki > Sugar Lyn Beard > Misato Fukuen > Sandy Fox > Tracey Moore
