When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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!

It started off OK, I could see where it might have some entertainment value, so I continued to watch. As the film went on, though, it became more awkward and offensive with each minute. The acting itself was decent, but there was never really any character development, and the entire film was pretty disjointed for one that is chronologically linear. There was a significant anti-male sentiment to the film, and the extremely cavalier attitude toward abortion was appalling. I suffered to the end, thinking there might just be redemption for the script in the final minutes, but alas, it only became more revolting until the credits rolled.
