A messy millennial underachiever accidentally becomes alien-pregnant and must contend with skeptical doctors, a useless baby daddy, and her oversharing mother in order to survive and reclaim her life.[1]
Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant is the feature debut of THUNDERLIPS, and is based on their 2024 short film Help, I'm Alien Pregnant, which starred Hannah Lynch in the same role.[4]
Writing for Mashable, Kristy Puchko gave the film a positive review, calling it "one of the strangest films I've seen in at least the last decade" and praising Hannah Lynch's performance as "incredible in every moment of righteous rage."[5] Robert Daniels of RogerEbert.com offered a more mixed assessment, describing the film as "thin" but noting that "it survives on energy and humor, of which it has plenty."[6]
