Director : Gillian Robespierre
Running Time : 85 mins
Stand-up comedienne Donna Stern (Slate) has a one-night stand with Max (Lacy) after her boyfriend dumps her, only to discover the next morning that she’s pregnant. She decides to have an abortion, which has a negative impact on her comedy routine and also causes potential problems with her relationship with Max, who she starts seeing more seriously.
This movie is in no way a laugh out loud comedy. The humour is dry and at times unfunny, but that’s what makes it feel real. I’d have liked it if the stand-up was actually humorous when it was supposed to be, but then the focus isn’t on the comedy – that’s just there. The plot of a woman getting an abortion and the complications such a decision can lead to is what makes this movie interesting, and the natural performances of the cast make this an interesting drama with a plausible ending.
