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.

GreatThis film manages to be cute and complex at the same time. I love Jenny Slate and this was a great showcase for her talent and amazing personality. Worth the rent!.Score: 4/5

Awful awful awful!This movie was a total waste of timw and money. I am irritated that I gave money to this awful movie and it's clear abortion agenda. It wasnt even funny or relatable in anyway. Just really annoying characters. literally all that happens is she gets an abortion.... whole movie!.Score: 1/5

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

Boring and not worth the time.Although it pass some time on my plane ride, I didn't like it, It was listed as a comedy but I guess I didn't get it. The lead actrees was very good. I give 2 tomatoes..Score: 2/5

Obvious ChildNot a 'stupied movie'. you have to be in the mood to watch such a momentus film. this is a rom/com. I'm gay, I approve of this film, and i loathe rom/coms..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

Hilarious fun!Some great lines and relatable characters make for enjoyable watching. Second half a little more serious but overall a good laugh..Score: 4/5

TerribleThis is what the art of acting has boiled down to? This is a disgusting representation of how "women's rights" are destroying actual rights of women and degrading our culture and society..Score: 1/5

Nederlands
Donna Stern is een 27 jarige komiek uit Brooklyn die het erg goed doet bij het publiek. Wanneer ze harteloos wordt gedumpt door haar overspelige vriend, bereikt ze een dieptepunt. Ze vervalt in een sombere reeks wraakuitingen en Holocaustgrappen en in een dronken bui belandt ze in bed bij de jonge Max, die totaal niet haar type is. Een paar weken later komt ze erachter dat ze zwanger is geraakt.

Η Ντόνα Στερν είναι μια 27χρονη stand-up κωμικός από το Μπρούκλιν, αγαπητή στο κοινό της. Όταν την παρατάει ο φίλος της, η Ντόνα ξεπέφτει και φτάνει στο σημείο μηδέν της. Τα αστεία της πλέον αφορούν χωρισμούς κι ολοκαυτώματα. Μέσα στο μεθύσι, κοιμάται με τον Μαξ, έναν νεαρό συνάδελφο, καλό παιδί, αλλά όχι ο τύπος της. Λίγες βδομάδες αργότερα, μαθαίνει πως το προφυλακτικό δεν έκανε δουλειά και είναι έγκυος. Η Ντόνα που έχει μάθει να λέει πάντα την αλήθεια μπροστά στο κοινό της, τώρα πρέπει να μάθει να την κρύβει από τον Μαξ.

Deutsch
Die Komikerin Donna Stern (Jenny Slate) nimmt das Leben mit Humor und baut ihre Erfahrungen im Alltag auch immer wieder in ihre Auftritte als Stand-Up-Comedian ein. Am Valentinstag und an den Folgetagen erlebt die junge Frau jedoch so viele Unwegsamkeiten, die für einige Bühnenprogramme ausreichen dürften: Ausgerechnet am Tag der Liebe verlässt sie ihr Freund, der zuvor noch mit Donnas bester Freundin Sex hatte, dann verliert sie auch noch ihren Job. Aus Frust lässt sich Donna auf einen One-Night-Stand mit dem bibeltreuen Max (Jake Lacy) ein – und muss bald darauf zu allem Überfluss feststellen, dass sie schwanger ist. Lückenbüßer Max muss sie jetzt nicht nur ihre Schwangerschaft, sondern auch ihren Abtreibungswunsch beibringen. Trotz alledem versucht Donna aber, ihren Weg aus der Krise mit Humor zu meistern.
