Wrexham will play Melbourne Victory on July 11 and then Sydney FC four days later, the team said Tuesday. The closing game of the tour will be against Wellington Phoenix on July 19.

But as middle age approaches, Lainy, a high school teacher in Brooklyn, isn’t close to her dream. At the dinner where she suspects — no, is so certain that she tears open the dessert looking for a ring — that her longtime boyfriend (Damon Wayans Jr.) is going to pop the question, he instead asks her to join a threesome. Back at school, Lainy’s school lesson on “Romeo and Juliet” turns darkly cynical.Things are even worse when Lainy’s married best friend (Jillian Bell) divulges that she’s pregnant. “Get rid of it!” blurts Lainy before apologizing. When the pair later go clothes shopping, Lainy absentmindedly tries on belly padding. The saleswoman is instantly nice to her, offering a burrito and a foot rub. “Who’s the father?” she asks. “Doordash,” responds Lainy before adding, “driver.”

Much of the fun in “Kinda Pregnant” is watching Lainy come up with increasingly ridiculous lies as she tries to pull off the pregnant act. (After accidentally picking Thanksgiving as her time of inception, Lainy digs a deeper hole by suggesting it happened at “a Black Friday Eve sale.”)But the ruse becomes more difficult when she, during a pregnant workout class, meets a woman (Brianne Howey, refreshingly authentic) she genuinely likes and wants to be friends with. Even more complicated: Lainy starts falling for another guy she first meets at a coffee shop (In a movie filled with funny people (others include Urzila Carlson as a guidance counselor, and Alex Moffat as a idiotic father-to-be), Forte is an especially good presence in “Kinda Pregnant.” For a performer of such madcap absurdity, Forte fits in remarkably naturally in a more rom-com setting. He’s also got a wonderfully ridiculous occupation, even by rom-com standards, driving a Zamboni in Central Park.

You can probably guess how “Kinda Pregnant” goes from here. Director Tyler Spindel, nephew to(a producer on the film), doesn’t do anything to advance the movie comedy, a languishing proposition in recent years with

. But he crucially gives his performers plenty of space to be themselves, and Lainy’s desperate desire to have a family comes across as both over-the-top and genuine. If “Knocked Up” captured the comedy of getting unexpectedly pregnant, “Kinda Pregnant” embodies the pain of wishing you were.

“Kinda Pregnant,” a Netflix release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for sexual content, language throughout and drug use. Running time: 97 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.The town and some First Nations in the area took over the rail line and it’s back to operating.

Sleeper berths are available on the train, along with shower cubicles the size of those in a New York hotel room, but for those traveling more cheaply or booking late, there are standard seats in the cabin. The seats recline — mostly. But it’s not full laying down.Food is also limited.
