Preggoland is a Canadian comedy drama starring Arctic Air’s Sonja Bennett and legendary actor James Caan. Bennett also penned the screenplay, with Montreal native Jacob Tierney at the helm. The film took home the award for the Most Popular Canadian Film at the 2014 Vancouver International Film Festival, and is garnering favourable reviews heading into its release.
When 35-year-old Ruth (Sonja Bennett) ruins a baby shower with her juvenile antics, her old high school cronies-who are all mothers now-promptly de-friend her. But when she is later mistakenly thought to be ‘with child’ she is inexplicably welcomed back into the group. Although she initially tries to come clean, the many perks of pregnancy are far too seductive to ignore. Preggoland is a comedy about our societal obsession with babies and the lengths we’ll go to be part of a club.
Not only does Bennett star in the film, she also penned the screenplay, marking this as her foray into screenwriting. “As a writer, I am interested in exploring our innate desire to belong to a tribe. The artifice of the most giant clique in the world: motherhood. And our society’s pregnancy pedestal. I see Preggoland as a coming of age comedy with a big heart and bag of rarely discussed truths,” said Bennett.
Preggoland is rated 14A.
