Obvious Child

In "Obvious Child," aspiring comedian Donna Stern (Slate) is a female twenty-something who finds in everyday life ample material for her hysterical and relatable brand of humor. On stage, Donna is unapologetic and herself, joking about topics as intimate as her sex life and as crude as her day-old underwear. But when Donna winds up unexpectedly pregnant after a one-night stand, she is forced to face the uncomfortable realities of independent womanhood for the first time. Donna's drunken hookup—and epic lapse in prophylactic judgment—turns out to be the beginning of a hilarious and totally unplanned journey of self-discovery and empowerment. (Gary Reber)
