Storyline
For aspiring comedian Donna Stern, everyday life as a female twenty-something provides ample material for her hysterical and relatable brand of humor. On stage, Donna is unapologetically herself, joking about topics as intimate as her sex life and as crude as her day-old underwear. But when Donna winds up unexpectedly pregnant after a one-night stand, she is forced to face the uncomfortable realities of independent womanhood for the first time. Donna's drunken hookup - and epic lapse in prophylactic judgment - turns out to be the beginning of a hilarious and totally unplanned journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Written by A24 Films
Plot Keywords: peeing in the street, gone with the wind, first date, puppet, divorce

  1. Obvious Child is the legitimate bouncing daughter of Sarah Silverman and Girls. Like Silverman, heroine Donna is a standup comedian whose schtick is the female genitalia and other bodily functions normal and irregular. Onstage Donna pours out what previous generations were trained to suppress. She carries embarrassing candour to the max.

    From Girls comes the graphic exploration of the contemporary single woman's anxieties, sexual, personal and social. Only when she's dumped, drunk and broken-hearted does her performance lose her audience. Otherwise her comic candour endears her to the crowd. The closing of the classic Leftie bookstore is an emblem for the new cultural climate, which replaces the old progressive and collectivist values and securities -- e.g., gender roles, manners -- with the hookup culture. There a guy breaks up with his girlfriend in the bar toilet. Beyond friendships there is no sense of communal responsibility. In a parody of community, Max's new game machine turns the phone into a video game competition. Girls has supplanted Little Women.

    Donna and her one-night stand Max manage to develop an intimate relationship despite having drunken premature sex, mutual misunderstandings and his unwittingly (How can I put this delicately?) knocking her up. Later they claim to dislike romantic comedies but this is a romantic comedy — with grit, like the coffee/boyfriends the gay MC Sam claims to prefer. The film stretches the classic sterilized comic form to include farts, belches, diarrhea, co-ed urinating al fresco and abortion. Pillow Talk this ain't. But like Gone With the Wind, which the couple watches for the first time at the end, it traces the independent young woman's growth from young flippancy into an indomitable survivor.

    Max and Donna may seem like an odd match but they work. He's a bright, earnest business exec — who shows unusual heft by having read Robert Botero's The Savage Detectives — but he's open to sharing her zaniness. He's smart enough not to be put off by her embarrassing drunken performance — and sensitive enough to deny having seen it. Donna may seem flighty but she is extremely earnest about making her theatre an honest personal expression. The serious guy and playful gal are a reversal of Donna's separated parents. Her father is a manchild puppet-maker, mom the no-frills business professor.

    This superb film has a remarkably frank script, uniform quality in performance and an honesty and candour about modern "romance" that is most bracing. Writer/director Gillian Robespierre is a new talent to watch.

  2. ....YOU WILL ADORE THIS MOVIE. If you're older/white/Hispanic/black/Asian/mixed/robot/alien/Donald Trump's comb over, you will wonder what has happened to romantic comedies. So every thing that's crude (i.e. fart jokes, bowels, crotch stains, p pping next to one another, sitting next to your roommate who's taking a dump, did I mention crotch stains that supposedly ALL women deal with .... I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who don't ... not that you needed to know ... including what's in the movie; catchy rhymes for twelve year olds, yadda yadda yadda ... ) is supposed to be comedic these days??? I want to go back to my mom's womb and wait till this sh88 blows over until the next 22nd century. I was the only one who didn't laugh among the entire forum of twenty folks. No wonder this movie gets a lot of stars.

  3. Obvious Child is a very ballsy film just for the fact that it deals with abortion which is such a hot button topic nowadays. However, unlike some films, it doesn't take a side. It presents abortion and the effect a decision like that can have on a woman in a very realistic fashion while delivering a very sweet romantic comedy.

    Good: First off, I have to give endless praise to Jenny Slate for knocking it out the park in this movie. As the main character, she gives a great performance that has her balance drama and comedy seamlessly. She's hilarious and crude, but when the time comes to get serious, she is fantastic. The rest of the cast is just as great and there's definitely a Girls type of atmosphere with its dialogue and humor. However, the movie gets respect from me the most in how it approaches abortion. It doesn't take sides on the issue in regards celebrating the decision to have an abortion or shame her for choosing an abortion. It simply looks at abortion as an important decision that women go through when given the circumstances and views it as realistically as possible. It's refreshing how it deals with it with an honest and yet serious view on it without being preachy or exploitative. At the same time, it works as a romantic comedy as it contains many hilarious jokes and the central relationship is very sweet.

    Overall, this is certainly a movie to keep an eye out. It's a funny and sweet romantic comedy that takes on the taboo subject of abortion in a respectful and honest way.
