How sad is this?

A Masterpiece!

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

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

Although it dwells into serious topics, the characters are likable but one-note, the jokes are unfunny and sometimes immature and the message comes along preachy (yeah, suddenly everyone has had an abortion). Despite all these flaws, it was enjoyable enough. Jenny Slate brings a sort of vulnerability, but unfortunately the characterisation itself was lacking for the audience to really connect with her struggles. The running time is short, but it feels like certain scenes were unnecessary (like the one with David Cross). In the end, despite the film being well-intentioned and pretty to look at, there wasn't too much story to be told in the first place.

I can't express how much I love this film. It's funny and heartwarming and a new favorite of mine. The characters are relatable, the story is funny and captivating, the actors are truly remarkable, and the setting is amazing - New York. This film is unique in it's voice, but something we can all recognize. It has the feel of Man Up, but with a different age demographic and location. It's quirky, fun, touching, a hidden treat. Jenny Slate, is amazing in this film. She's found her voice and her niche and she shines. The supporting cast does just what you want from them. They support her without stealing the show. It's a simple, sweet story told in a truly unique way. I honestly can't say enough things, this film is remarkable!

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.
