Review of Obvious Child (2014) by Odin B — 26 Jan 2017

I am SO pleased I saw this fantastic and hilarious movie! I have been getting so many things wrong. For example, I had this pretty ridiculous notion that abortion was a huge decision. You know that it was the decision about whether the foetus gets to live its life or not. I actually thought people took that seriously. Now I get it. It's about as morally tricky as picking your nose and people do it joking and kidding around and don't really care too much. In fact, for Donna it was kind of a family tradition. Thanks for that, guys. I stand corrected.

Actually, with Trump wanting to restrict abortion to private clinics for his wealthy friends and now we've established it's nothing to stress about why don't Jenny Slate and Chris Evans deliberately conceive a baby in order to have it aborted as a political statement? Evans could emote on his Twitter about being in awe and truly grateful for the chance of creating new life and how he'll be present and in the moment when it's aborted and feeling the love as he sends it back to oblivion. Sssssshhhhh!

Wow, I just had a GREAT idea!! They could make a comic mocumentary together about it? It could be financially worthwhile. What a cinematic coup! In the abortion scene Jenny could be having the abortion for real! A first! I can see it now - Jenny lying there making jokes about farts and Evans clutching his breast laughing so loudly you can hardly hear the hum of the suction pump. They could call it 'Not Another Outrageous Child For Us, Thank You.' Well, why ever not? According to this movie it's no big deal.
