I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The story is about a beautiful innocent girl would you with her problems with her own way.of course she's the obvious child but in this childish behaviour, you see a lot more than that.they say going through life in that make you strong, maybe they're right, because after that incident you can see how she changes.the way she tried to make things right is so interesting to me and I can't get enough of it.I love this movie and I will watch it every time I feel blue and it makes me feel better

I got curious after some positive review elsewhere, and since this looked like it could be a nice sort of blend of 'Girls' and 'Louie', I decided to give it a go. After the film I read some really positive comments on ICM, and was a little surprised. The movie really isn't bad, but I'd say I was only half charmed by leading lady Jenny Slate, and the film. It turns out I've seen her before in 'Girls' (must have, but I don't really remember) and I must have heard her before in the very funny show 'Bob's burgers' (during the movie, I díd think of Donna as being a real life, later on character from that show from time to time). And now that I'm checking her list, I'm sure I saw her in 'Parks and recreation' (okay show, much in the vein of 'The office' U.S.) as well.Anyway. A romantic comedy. And funny. But awkward. Very awkward. Then cute. Then funny. But awkward. Then sexy and energetic for a bit. Then back to funny. And awkward. Then sweet. Etc.. The end. I exaggerate, because I was really just half charmed most of the time. The direction and cinematography were quite plain, and Jake Lacy did hardly convince me. But a lot of the content, commenting on many modern day and more general subjects, was interesting and witty enough.Special mention: Richard Kind's small part as the father, always a pleasure to see him perform.Shall we say, a decent 6 out of 10? Done.

Spoilers! If you want to watch a depressing movie that glorifies abortion, as it seems every female in the movie has had one at some point without any regrets, like it's just a normal part of growing up nowadays, and whose lead is a non-comedian who just rambles and is not the least bit funny, just extremely crude but not even clever-crude if you know what I mean, then this may be for you. This is not a romantic comedy in any form, just another feminist agenda movie which terrifyingly reveals just how shallow and selfish our society has become if this truly represents women's character and values today.Not only did this 28 yr old woman not have any strength of character but she didn't have any respect or caring for her friends or family, they were all fair game in her so-called comedy shows. She actually tells a whole audience that her mother had an abortion without even knowing if it would be something her mother would want known...her mother had just shared that with her the day before after she told her mother she was pregnant. The movie tried hard to convince us that this girl was sweet, fun loving and cute but she was immature and vapid.

It's amazing when a director's first movie is as nearly perfect as this one is. It's a marvel. It's richly funny and touching and entertaining, but it's also exactly what we as a society need right now.Until I saw this, I hadn't noticed the extent to which the conservative nuts have turned abortion into something so vile that even its supporters are afraid to talk about it as anything but an evil last resort. It's unbelievably refreshing to spend an hour and a half in a world in which abortion is not only an acceptable alternative to childbirth but the healthy and valuable medical procedure it is in fact.Thank God for Gillian Robespierre and the wonderful people who helped her make this movie. Jenny Slate (obviously) and Gaby Hoffmann, whose strength as an actor grows with every movie she makes, deserve special praise for their fantastic performances.The trouble with conservative Christians is that they don't believe their own religion. If they did, they would have no objection to abortion, because it delivers the unborn child from this painful and dangerous world directly into the arms of their loving Father forever. Christians preach that God, but they don't really believe in him.If Christians believed their own religion, they would not reject or judge anybody; they'd embrace everybody, because that's exactly what Jesus did. Jesus welcomed everybody who came to him, especially sinners; he judged and excluded nobody. He preached love and healing, not judgment and condemnation. Christians have traded their loving God (the only true god) for a false god of vengeance and terror who's no better than Allah or Kali.
