Review of Obvious Child (2014) by Dan L — 31 Jul 2015
Solid. I love Jenny Slate and she's as charming and funny as ever here. The movie broaches a controversial topic, abortion, but the plot works really well and the writing isn't overly moralistic or prescriptive.
My only complaint about the movie is the lack of chemistry between the leads. I think this movie had more potential as a screenplay than it's given credit for here. It's not the male lead's fault.
I liked him and I would see him in another movie, but he and Jenny weren't clicking on screen the way you want in a romantic comedy.
