Unusual romantic comedy staring Jenny Slate as an aspiring NYC based stand up comic, who unexpectedly falls for an earnest MBA grad from Vermont (a likable Jake Lacy). It's kind of like 'Knocked Up', only she ultimately chooses to have an abortion, and he supports her in this. The movie is not apologetic about it either, this is a very matter of fact pro-choice movie and yet it knows that in the romantic comedy context, this is bold and transgresive. Filled with likable but flawed characters, I found it to be an enjoyable movie, and with its approach to abortion, also thought provoking. ***
