Donna’s drunken hookup – and epic lapse in prophylactic judgment – turns out to be the beginning of an unplanned journey of self-discovery and empowerment..

Forget the moral messages ..enjoy the talent and wit
Obvious Child delivered 84 minutes of witty dialogue , excellent performance (Jenny Slate)and humor mixed with light drama . It’s ingenuity forces the viewer to feel the attractiveness of the actors even when conventional beauty is scarce . There are no super models in Obvious Child , no flashy implants , and no forced nudity , but the movie draws a constant smile on your face from beginning to end credits.I’m no big fan of rom-coms but this movie changed my mind. Yes a lot will discuss the morals of the movie (abortion) and take sides (with or against) but the value of this movie , in my humble opinion, is outside that debate . its fun and warm and deserves a double watching experience .did I say that Jenny Slate was wonderful ?
Very sweet and extremely funny!
‘OBVIOUS CHILD’: Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A romantic comedy flick about a young Brooklyn comedian who becomes unexpectedly pregnant, after a drunken one-night stand. It stars stand-up comedian, and TV star, Jenny Slate as the comedian and costars Jake Lacy (of ‘THE OFFICE’ fame), Gaby Hoffmann, Gabe Liedman, Richard Kind, Polly Draper and David Cross. It was directed by first time feature filmmaker Gillian Robespierre and written by Robespierre, Karen Maine and Elisabeth Holm. It’s based on the 2009 short film, of the same name, directed and co-written by Robespierre. I found the movie to be very sweet and extremely funny.
Slate plays Donna Stern, a comedian in her late twenties who lives in Brooklyn and works at a book store that’s going out of business. As the film opens she’s dumped by her boyfriend (Paul Briganti), which causes Donna to have an emotional and mental breakdown. She meets a young man named Max (Lacy), at the club where she does shows, and has a fling that night with him. Later she finds out she’s pregnant and turns to her friends Nellie (Hoffman) and Joey (Liedman) for advice. She makes up her mind that she wants an abortion but she decides to tell Max about the pregnancy and starts a reluctant romantic relationship with him.
As the film started I had a hard time getting into Slate’s comedic style; I’m not a big fan of stand-up comedy to begin with but her jokes are really awkward and ‘out there’. As the movie went on though I found her more and more funny, partially because I learned to care more and more about her character but also because I started to understand her sense of humor more and got more used to her joke style. I also found her character very relatable. She incorporates a lot of her life into her comedy (which makes a lot of people uncomfortable, especially those she includes in her jokes) but in my opinion that’s the best type of comedy; humor that’s based in reality and deals with subjects that most people are afraid to talk about. That’s the comedic style I often try to use in my life (most often on Facebook). The film does turn out to be hilarious and mostly because of Slate; she’s adorable and extremely funny as well. Like I said the movie is also really sweet and I found the romantic aspects of it to be really well done. Slate and Robespierre both shine here and so does this movie!
