5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleasantly surprised

For those who would find Transformers or Batman to be more their speed, this film is a snoozer. It deals subtly, awkwardly, and adeptly with human emotion. It moves "slow." For fans of film, film that is pensive and cerebral, the slow pace is a nonissue.

For those who would hope that "she would make the right decision at the end," may find [insert poorly written and acted religious film here] to be more their speed. This film does not shy from the weight of the decision, nor does it treat it distastefully, much to my surprise.

The humor is low brow in an overly crass way, but manages still to be funny and endearing. This is the biggest strike against it, but only at first. Jen Slate's character is a bit of a basket case. I think her crassness is part of her humor, clearly, but also part of an underlying rebelliousness, maybe. She mentions her disdain for synagogue. Her mother is an academic. Her father is a bit eccentric. Her crassness could well be a form of rebellion against her mother but a sort of eccentric feature she may connect with her father. (Her relationship with her mother is rocky). So, I think even what would seem a major downside to this film, the low brow, even childish crassness could very well be viewed as a central dynamic of Slate's character. The only other characters who are as crass are also stand up comics. The low brow crass humor is evidently the preferred genre of the comedy club where they perform.

Hats off for those who had the courage and ability to deal respectfully and artfully with this subject, without downplaying it's seriousness. This is, in essence, the anti-romantic comedy. (A character even expresses his dislike for rom coms). It is gritty and "real." It does more resemble the nature of every day life. There is no fairy-tale here.

As expected, about half love it and half hate it. One reviewer who hoped that "she would make the right decision" had the user ID "Obama_is-an_idiot" (or something similar with the exact wording). Unsurprisingly, the very subject of this film puts half the US population against it from the beginning. Art and film, in general, and not unlike THIS film, do not always mean to tell a story or depict a sentiment that necessarily beguiles the masses into sedated mindlessness. Art is an expression of life, and as such, and by definition, should not and cannot always be so neat. Sometimes, life offends. But there is, or can be, meaning and beauty in offense.

Though this may be the anti-rom com, it is not without sentiment. You'll have to make it to the end. If you can't, or don't, you may fall into that category of viewer who already has their mind made, or simply needs more explosions and tits, or any other reason. Regardless, one of the things that makes this film valuable is that it says something. Or so was my impression....

5.0 out of 5 stars Real, True, Incredible
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2015

I just finished the film a few minutes ago and felt compelled to write a review. I don't often review movies, but this … this was a real movie. Wow. There were awkward, real life moments, humor, truth, feelings … just everything. As I watching, I kept thinking, "here it comes, here's the part where this turns into every other romanticized rom-com out there," but it never did. Not that I find anything wrong with romantic comedies per se because I do enjoy them, but this was so refreshing, it was like having a glass of water after drinking too much soda. At first, the pop tastes good, but after a while, the bubbles go away and it gets warm and your teeth start to hurt and then all you can think about is ice cold water. Delicious.

Is this movie about abortion? Sort of. Is it about people and real life? Absolutely. Some of the reviews are criticizing it because it's pro this or pro that or OMG, there's feminism in this film! First off, this movie isn't pro-anything - it's just about life. It never touts anything as right or wrong, doesn't judge. And second of all, when is having strong female characters that can actually think for themselves a bad thing? Is the world inundated and overcrowded with movies where women actually think and feel things, where life actually happens? Not really.

When the film first started, I wasn't sure what to think. Yes, the beginning is a little awkward and there are a few strange moments here and there, but that's what life's all about. I just watched this for free via Amazon Prime and then immediately ordered the blu-ray. This is a film, an idea, an honest truth that I have to support. For the first time in forever, I've watched a movie that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard, doesn't shy away from a subject that needs to be talked about, that matters. Abortion. Yes, it's in this movie and *spoilers* the main character does get an abortion, but it isn't glorified nor is it demonized, it just is. It is, and there's still a love story, and there's still humor, and as a twenty-something woman in America today, I feel like this is a pretty accurate portrayal of how we talk and think and feel. We can talk about abortion, we can love men but still be strong women, be feminists, love life, make mistakes, and tell the truth.

Watch this movie. Whether you love it or hate it, you will learn something about yourself. I, personally, loved it and won't stop recommending it until everyone I know has seen it.

I purchased this dvd as it came up as a recommendation when I bought another film, I bought Obvious Child because it looked good and was cheap. I finally watched it last night on my own and was captivated, I adore the main character and where can I find a boyfriend like the lead male please. Want to watch it again today!

The movie is very believable and the chemistry between the two leads works really well. I enjoyed it.

But DO NOT BUY this DVD if you intend to make a perfectly legitimate backup or a digital version for playback on a mobile device since the authors of this DVD went out of their way to make that impossible.

I love this movie! It's will have in stitches, it's hilarious and leaves a lovely warm feeling when it ends. Jenny Slate is just phenomenal as Donna and I'm looking forward to future movies from the director Gillian Robespierre.

Highly recommended viewing!
