Donna is an aspiring comedian whose routine is based on every aspect of her life, sex, her day-old underwear, her bowels... So when she gets dumped, made redundant from her day job, and falls pregnant after one night stand, she is forced to confront the realities of independent womanhood for the first time.

It’s the unlikely, yet winning, combination of scatological humour, raw human honesty, and sweet romance that makes Obvious Child so much fun and so satisfying to watch. Jenny Slate’s wonderfully vulnerable performance keeps Donna’s journey real as she tentatively strips back her sarcastic armour and allows herself to trust—at least for now. With great turns from Gaby Hoffman and David Cross.
