Review of Obvious Child (2014) by Wife Of T — 18 Jun 2014

So, even though OBVIOUS CHILD was on my list to see, I wasn't going to see it before THE SEDUCTION. But deciding not to fight traffic, I opted for the art theatre downtown instead of the one that's more local and ended up in this - film.

I was not impressed. Was it funny, sure. Sometimes. It had a very dry humor. Not in a "I love this robust but dry chardonnay" kind of way, more in a "my husband has let his back get so dry it's scaling up" kind of way. I mean I buy him lotion, there's no excuse people! Just like there's no excuse for being reminded there are foolish, tacky people in this world.

You guys know I hate spoiler alerts, but SPOILER ALERT. She watched her friend pee & possibly poo. She squatted behind a guy while he peed against a building and worried about the "splash", and oh yeah, then he farted in her face. We also got a close up view of her dirty, crusted up panties.

And then we got to the point where instead of coming clean with her one night stand, about the repercussions of their oh, so romantic, interlude (Her: "I can't get your blouse off!), during which she was too drunk to properly use a condom, we had to watch her "suffer" through an abortion.

Now people, I'm pro-life, but I'm not pro-foolish. And all I could do is shake my head through watching this confused, pitiful person. I'm sorry, I just could not relate and she was not someone I enjoyed spending time with. Am I old fashioned because I believe if you get pregnant by a nice guy and you have two supportive parents that you should just have the baby? I mean she was around 27, presumable already educated, healthy and (like I said) had a supportive family. I'm supposed to believe she can't grow up and be a parent because as she puts it she doesn't know how to tell someone to "turn the tv off"?

The point of this movie really lost me (just like how a grown man can allow his back to get like a crocodile's) and I really feel like it's two hours I won't get back. Maybe it's just not my kind of humor, but I didn't enjoy it.

For those of you who are wondering, I saw this movie by myself. Thank God. I certainly wouldn't want the man I love (or anyone I love for that matter) to suffer through this nonsense. That being said I won't give it just one star, because I have walked out of films and didn't walk out of this one. That being said, unless the above appeals to you, please don't feel like you have to walk in.

And remember, (except for maybe when viewing this load of hooey)films are expensive, take a nap before it starts,.
