Synopsis: For aspiring comedian Donna Stern, everyday life as a female twenty-something provides ample material for her hysterical and relatable brand of humor. On stage, Donna is unapologetically 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.
Anchored by a star-making performance from Jenny Slate, Obvious Child is a true Sundance gem: a
heartfelt discovery packed tight with raw, energetic comedy and moments of
poignant honesty and vulnerability. Writer/Director Gillian Robespierre handles
the topic of Donna's unwanted pregnancy with a refreshing matter-of-factness
rarely seen onscreen. And with Donna, Slate and Robespierre have crafted a
character for the ages – a female that audiences will recognize, cheer for, and
love.
