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. Anchored by a star-making performance from Jenny Slate, OBVIOUS CHILD is a true Sundance gem: a heartfelt discovery packed tight with raw, energetic comedy and moments of poignant honesty and vulnerability. Writer/Director Gillian Robespierre handles the topic of Donna's unwanted pregnancy with a refreshing matter-of-factness rarely seen onscreen. And with Donna, Slate and Robespierre have crafted a character for the ages – a female that audiences will recognize, cheer for, and love.
An immature, newly unemployed comic must navigate the murky waters of adulthood after her fling with a graduate student results in an unplanned pregnancy.

An unusual comedy.I saw this film in the theater when it first came out. It’s about a woman who has a (what looks like) a one-night stand, that becomes an unintended pregnancy. The difference here (compared to other formulaic movies that deal with the same topic) is that the guy isn’t a jerk & yet she gets an abortion anyway & he remains supportive. A nuanced look at a familiar story..Score: 4/5

The best!I was a by apprehensive about renting this movie, eventually I just gave in. But it was the best decision I could have made! Jenny Slate has lit a long burnt out fire in me about being about to be myself fully and 'unapologetically'..Score: 5/5
Obvious C- Star FilmObvious Child would seem like a feminists dream. However, the girl(played by Jenny Slate) is uninteresting and flat. So this girl gets pregnant and plans an abortion. Unfortunately, the only date is February 14. She gets a abortion on Valentine's Day and dates the man of her unborn baby..Score: 2/5
ExceptionalJenny Slate rocks it every single time. The movie is very raw and in my opinion, empowering. Life throws itself at the lead character in the most unfortunate ways and she still finds a way to laugh about it, jump over the hurdles, and take advantage of her independence.Score: 5/5

Can be sweet buy deeply unfunnyThis is more of a light-hearted drama than a comedy; there is very little here I would describe as actually laugh-out-loud funny. Some of the characters are remarkably well drawn considering the rare amount of screen time they get, but I could never feel the sympathy for the lead that the movie demands to really enjoy it. Plus the Seinfeld-esque dropping of stand-up routines into the set-up or to move the plot along were cringe-worthy. (I recognize that they are SUPPOSED to be, but that doesn’t make them any more enjoyable)..Score: 2/5
