How sad is this?

Moustroll

Good movie but grossly overrated

Glimmerubro

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Two characters who seem like they would make great parents choose not to anyhow at the expense of their child's life.

I loved this movie. It's bittersweet, heartfelt, hilarious in it's saddest moments, and comes off as a genuine representation of reproductive autonomy. I love that there isn't any judging, that Donna is a nice person who loves to make people laugh and knows what is best for her. I can't spoil anything, but it's a nice film. It stayed with me for a long time.

Incredibly charming take on the topic of drunk sex and abortions. This film is really authentic and genuine, I really enjoyed it and I would definitely recommend, I loved the characters, especially the main character, the choices she made were not completely stupid and the one night stand was also really good. I don't normally enjoy films like this, I find them cheesy and boring but this one was good and I enjoyed it. This movie is what Trainwreck tried and failed to be, it is humorous, clever, subtle and thoroughly enjoyable. This film feels and looks real. Jenny Slate and Jake Lacy were incredible in this film and they really convinced me of their talents in this movie. Do not expect anything too original though, It does follow the common steps of American rom coms but it is good for what it is and I would watch it again.

I'm afraid that I found this movie to be terrible, with almost no redeeming features whatsoever. As a piece of comedy, whose central theme is that it is OK to feel good about having an abortion, is problematic. But that storyline is obscured and largely driven aside by the rest of the movie. The main character, Donna Stern, is a so-called comedian, who follows the modern tendency of using sexual and toilet humour in her "entertainment". She is a self-absorbed, rude and generally unpleasant person. Without revealing plot details, she is cruel and insensitive to others, is close to being an alcoholic (if she hasn't already crossed that threshold), and has absolutely no judgement when it comes to her choice of material for her comedy act.I find it incredible that anyone could actually think this is a good movie. My wife and I both regard it as trash, and only watched to the end for the ghoulish appeal of watching a train-wreck of a movie.Please avoid, unless you like unpleasant people and toilet humour.
