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.ólicoenunauniversidadsecularpuedeserundesafíootroslovencomounabendicióThings 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.

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.
