Labor Pains

The audience's emotional responses are primarily driven by the film's comedic premise and romantic storyline. High levels of **Humor** are generated by the absurd situations arising from Thea's fake pregnancy. This is complemented by significant **Joy** and **Happiness** as the central romance develops and Thea navigates her predicament. **Love** is a key emotion as the relationship between Thea and Nick blossoms. There's also a strong sense of **Hope** for Thea's success in both her career and personal life, alongside **Relief** when she avoids exposure. Underlying these positive emotions is a moderate level of **Anxiety** and **Empathy** for Thea's desperate situation and the constant threat of her lie being uncovered.
