Why does a movie do a 180 in the final 15 to 20 minutes and give us something worthwhile, with the first hour here devoted to cringe inducing and painfully unfunny situations and dialog. Also, I found this film to be filled with lots of anti-male stereotypes as it progressed.
Jenny Slate stars as Donna Stern, a part-time stand up comic and part-time bookstore employee, in New York City. After her boyfriend dumps her, she ends up having a one night stand with the super nice guy Max Brown, portrayed by Jake Lacy.
In a few weeks Donna finds out she's pregnant from their sexual encounter, and begins to move forward to possibly have an abortion, suffering through all the emotional turmoil that accompanies such a decision. Things get even more complicated when Max comes to the bookstore, and asks her out again. Donna also must decide if she wants to tell her mother (Polly Draper) and father (Richard Kind).
This movie seemed to be trying so hard to shock the viewer with raw language, as well as a myriad of scatological and sexual jokes, which fall as flat as a pancake. As mentioned, only in the final minutes did I get a sense that I was watching an actual story that might have some entertainment value. Sorry, overall, this film has to be rated poorly in my book.
