Frank Todaro of Moxie Pictures directed this PSA which starts out with a young lad and lass on the front porch of a house at night. They draw closer together and are about to have what looks like their first kiss–that is until the porch light comes on, prompting the boy to jump off the porch and flee.
The girl’s parents come out of the house and look at their daughter.
The father says, “I was afraid of that.”
The mom chimes in, “guess it’s time to get you fixed.”
The camera returns to the daughter who is revealed to be a young cat. Her boyfriend is a tomcat who we see scampering away.
A voiceover intervenes, relating, “Your pets will start fooling around sooner than you think. Accidental litters lead to millions killed in shelters each year. Help prevent more. Fix at month four.”
TM Advertising conceived of the “Fix at Four” campaign which educates people on when to spay and neuter their pets, not just why.
Review: Director Tyler Spindel’s “Kinda Pregnant”
We have by now become accustomed to the lengths some movie characters will go to keep a good comedy lie going. But it's still a special kind of feat when Amy Schumer, playing a baby-mad single woman who fakes a baby bump in "Kinda Pregnant," is so desperate to maintain the fiction that she shoves a roast turkey up her dress.
You might be thinking: This is too ridiculous. The stuffing, alone. But if we bought "Some Like it Hot" and "Mrs. Doubtfire," I see no reason to quibble with the set-up of "Kinda Pregnant," a funny and often perceptive satire on motherhood, both real and pretend.
"Kinda Pregnant," which debuted Wednesday on Netflix, is a kinda throwback comedy. Like "40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Wedding Crashers," you can basically get the movie just from its title.
But like any good high-concept comedy, "Kinda Pregnant" is predominantly a far-fetched way for its star and co-writer, Schumer, to riff frankly on her chosen topic. Here, that's the wide gamut of pregnancy experience — the body changes, the gender reveal parties, the personal jealousies — all while mixing in a healthy amount of pseudo-pregnant pratfalls.
It's been a decade since Schumer was essentially launched as a movie star in the 2015 Judd Apatow-directed "Trainwreck." But "Kinda Pregnant," which Schumer wrote with Julie Paiva, almost as adeptly channels Schumer's comic voice — the one that made the sketch series "Inside Amy Schumer" so great.
The movie's opening flashes back to Lainey (Schumer) as a child playing with dolls and imagining herself a mother-to-be. So committed is she to the role that Lainey, in mock-labor, screams at her friend and then politely apologies: "Sorry, but the expectant mother often lashes out at her support system."
