If you think that your fetus is junk in the trunk that needs to be cleaned out so you can later joke about it, this movie is for you. If you think that shutting down all pro-life opinions, such as when the mere mention of adoption is immediately crushed before the doctor can even get it out, then this movie is for you. If you think that a 28 year old college graduate, who's a witty, funny writer, and could work from home while raising her child, has no need to hear this positive advice, and you would rather tell her the story where you got knocked up in college and really had to get an abortion, then this movie is for you. If the man who got you pregnant hits it off with you so much it's basically love at first sight, and is the "nicest man you ever met", and is also a college graduate, and the best student your Mom taught, and is a successful business man in the ever growing video gaming world, but you would rather hear of the story where your Mom got knocked up in college by this guy who makes her face cringe in such a way you immediately hate him, totally the opposite of your potential baby-daddy, then this movie is for you. If you think that you'll never regret having aborted this man's child, and this is the advice you want to hear from one of your best friends, then this movie is for you. If you think that this awesome guy, who wants to "do the right thing", and "can't wait to be a grandpa", will actually bring you flowers, walk you to the abortion clinic, hold your hand, and want to pursue a relationship with you after you killed his unborn child, then this movie is for you and your poor, deluded, brain-washed mind. If you think that you will cry more while pregnant than after an abortion, then this movie is for you.

I was tricked into watching this pro-abortion movie by the description on Amazon Prime as a "heart warming" romantic comedy. The movie is actually bone chilling because it says so much about the attitudes in our society regarding the value of human life. Where are the human rights activists fighting to protect the smallest and weakest among us? This movie is critically acclaimed because everyone is excited about the propagation of pro-abortion attitudes, namely, spreading the lies of abortion. If you "buy" what this movie is selling, you are buying into the following lies: abortion doesn't hurt, you will never regret your abortion, abortion doesn't really cost that much, everyone around you supports your decision to get an abortion (especially the baby daddy), and you and your boyfriend can live happily ever after despite this rather unfortunate distraction. I only signed on to this site today so I could review this movie, and maybe warn at least one person what you are about to watch, so as to give you the opportunity to make an informed decision that you can make on your own. "Pro-choicers" should love that!

Gillian Robespierre makes an endearingly funny film about unplanned pregnancy and abortion with Obvious Child. Don't believe us? Watch it! Obvious Child, written and directed by Gillian Robespierre, is the breakout indie comedy that swept up audiences hearts at both Sundance and SXSW festivals. Obvious Child follows a stand up comedienne named Donna Stern, played by Jenny Slate. Donna was recently dumped, and not just dumped, but had her heart ripped out and stomped on by her now ex-boyfriend and needless to say she is going through a rough patch. What does one do when one is heartbroken? Well, dancing in her underwear to music, one-night stands and maintaining a certain level of drunkenness seems to be the remedy for her. Unfortunately for Donna this leads to further complications when she finds her uterus fertilized which forces her to address aspects of her life she's been avoiding. It is incredibly difficult to tell where Donna Stern ends and Jenny Slate begins in Obvious Child. All the characters written by Robespierre are realistic, engaging and fully formed, especially Donna's best friend Nellie (Gaby Hoffmann) and straight-laced paramour Max (Jake Lacy). Whether it be from the actors' talents or the superior writing, either way, Obvious Child is a fast-paced film with entertaining and intellectual dialogue. Obvious Child is not a film for everyone. If you gripe about the sanctity of marriage and have considered or participated in a pro-life rally then this film is probably not for you. You've been warned. Obvious Child is definitely slanted toward the liberal agenda and lucky for this film, so am I. Please check out our WEBSITE for all the REVIEWS of recent releases, indies and awards contenders.

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 ?

Got a chance to catch a free screening of this last night, and Jenny Slate floored me. Yes it's crass (which I enjoyed) and it was even more enjoyable for the fact that its strong female lead was the source for most of it. Her character, Donna, is equal parts adorable and flawed, which makes this a very different and subversive rom-com from what most folks are conditioned to expect out of the genre. That, and it's absolutely hilarious. I truly don't understand how any of the folks reviewing this could have sat through an hour and a half of it without laughing.

Making a movie that seems authentic is hard in this day and age considering what films make money and what films don't. Most of the time audiences don't feel like watching a film deal with real issues when they can just watch a summer blockbuster, but Obvious Child is an incredibly effective real film. Jenny Slate gives an incredible lead performance of a woman who is a struggling stand up comedian and dealing with personal issues to go along with it. After going through a break up she has a one night stand with a complete stranger, who also happens to be a charming and genuinely nice man. Slate and Lacy have great chemistry together on screen, even if it's dependent upon dirty and crude humor. Speaking of dirty, if the films opening doesn't have you laughing than it's probably not for you. The jokes can be a bit much at times but that speaks to the bond these two strangers have built over a short period of time. It also treats abortion with care while never really leaning to one side of the spectrum or the other politically wise. Comedically it's on par with a lot of straight up comedies, but it separates itself by having true moments of drama. Props to the entire cast for creating these real characters who everyone can relate to. I think Jenny Slate will be a powerhouse in comedy if she chooses the right roles for herself. Obvious Child is a great short little indie film that's definitely worth watching. +Slate's star making performance +Real characters +With real dramatic situations +Good mix of comedy and true emotion -Humor a bit over-the-top at times 8.4/10

Wish I could vote 0 stars. This has to be the worst movie ever. It needs to be clear this is a movie about abortion. I sat here watching hoping she would change her mind and take responsibility for her actions and NOT abort her baby. Nope she ends up doing it anyway. The entire movie comments are thrown left and right making it seem like abortions are normal. In the end she does a stand up comedy show making JOKES about how she's about to have an abortion like it isnt actually a baby. This movie was crazy depressing. Never will I watch anything with any of these actors again. Definitely made me dislike them all for supporting this trash of a story line. Worst. Movie. Ever.

Such a gentle, tender, heartwarming movie, about New Yorker Donna Stern (not a girl, but not yet a woman, cue Britney), who's in her late 20's, just broken up with, working in a bookstore during the day and doing stand-up at night. Jenny Slate invests her with surprising tenderness and pathos, making her a full, rounded character, regarding the world with trust and suspicion (watch that scene with David Cross as she watches him clumsily make move after move), trying to make the right decisions and correct the bad ones and sometimes failing, just trying to be true (which she, sometimes helplessly, can't help but be during her stand-up, hurting those close to her, but reaching something close to the purity of art). She's never a caricature, which is to the credit of Slate and writer/director Gillian Robespierre. And then she gets Knocked Up. Which the film treats with respect and adult understanding, unlike "Knocked Up," which can't even mention the word "abortion." This is by far the most refreshing part of "Obvious Child" -- the characters never devolve into rom-com conventions, and their actions seems derived from an understanding of how real people interact. And somehow Slate and Robespierre manage to make the whole thing funny, which just seems magical and miraculous. Gaby Hoffmann deserves a shout-out as well, as the roommate/best friend. Go see it on a first date (I did!), it'll really open up the conversation during dinner!
