On Tuesday, January 7, a trailer for Amy Schumer's forthcoming comedy, Kinda Pregnant, dropped, and it features cameos from Sunny and her mom.

The movie, which was produced by Adam's Happy Madison production company, follows Amy's character Lainey, who, being jealous of her best friend's pregnancy, begins to wear a false pregnant belly — and accidentally gets to meet the man of her dreams, per IMDb.

Directed by Tyler Spindel, also known for Jack and Jill, and The Out-Laws, it also stars Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Alex Moffat, Brianne Howey, Damon Wayans Jr. and Molly Sims. Jackie appears as a yoga teacher, while Sunny appears as a character named Daisy.
