We Are Pregnant (Spanish: Embarazados) is a 2016 Spanish comedy film directed by Juana Macías from a screenplay by Macías, Anna R. Costa and Juan Moreno starring Paco León and Alexandra Jiménez.
The plot follows the mishaps of the couple close to their 40s formed by Alina (a woman in a pre-menopausal stage wanting to have a child) and Fran (a man with poor semen quality) as they embark into a process of in vitro fertilisation. [1]
The film was produced by Audiovisuales del Monte, Teoponte PC, Kowalski Films and Telefónica Studios and it had the participation of TVE, ETB, and Movistar+. [5] [6] It boasted a budget of around €1.8 million. [2] Shooting locations included San Sebastián and Madrid. [2]
Distributed by Buena Vista International, [7] the film was released theatrically in Spain on 29 January 2016.
Beatriz Martínez of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be an "incisive dissection of couple problems" and singling out Alexandra Jiménez as the best thing about it. [8]
Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated the film 3½ out of 5 stars, deeming it to be a comedy with "a bitter aftertaste" in the verdict. [7]
Javier Ocaña of El País considered that the film "finds its best moments in drama" rather than in the inane drivel. [9]
