We are making our way through the gauntlet. We have gone from funny pregnant teenager to funny new born mom. Kim (Krysten Ritter) and Deena (Kate Bosworth) are liberated college women. The next thing we know Kim has a son Max. The pair share a house with Laura (Rachel Bilson) who is proud of her virginity, but accepts jobs that pay well which make you question it. She was a great character for what little time she was on the screen.
Marc (Rhys Coiro) the father of the child is also a surfer which allows him to leave the picture. The film works on the theme that having a baby is a "buzz kill." It is worse than the plague. In an early scene they drove the point home so much, it managed to bring the film down to where I didn't think it could recover to be a comedy again. Kristen Johnston plays Kim's flaky boss who is far from understanding.
When Kim meets Nicholas (Geoff Stults) they have an attraction for each other. Kim lies to Nicholas about the baby, claiming it is Deena's, which later resulted in a funny barbed filled double date, the comedy highlight of the film. The plot is predictable and I don't think it would have worked any other way.
Krysten Ritter looked exceedingly pale in this film, as a new born mom, i.e. a mom that just dropped the kid an hour ago. She kept that look for much of the film, perhaps to drive home the point. Justin Kirk plays an educated perv friend of Nicholas. He had a funny character that should have been used more. The film has some laughs and is a worth while date night rental.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex? no nudity.

A very very funny movie that is a lot like an Apatow movie. A little chick-flicky but men will like too. I did. I say B+

"Nobody tells you it's gonna be so hard...Yes they do Kim, that's pretty much all people say." Kim (Ritter) and Deena (Bosworth) are best friends. They do everything together. One night when both bring home a guy they discover a problem. One year later they are still best friends but now Kim has a baby. Trying to balance work, friends and her love life all around being a single mother turns out to be harder then she expects. This is a very funny movie that is almost done like an Apatow movie. The dialog is very witty and hilarious and keeps you laughing throughout. The beginning of the movie made me feel (as a parent) a little annoyed at Kim. It felt like she considered the baby a burden and that she didn't really want him. Her feelings did change but that part did bug me a little. Other then that and the movie being a little predictable this was very very funny and I recommend this. You will not be disappointed. I do have to say that this is more on the "chick-flick" side of comedies this will appeal to both men and women. I laughed all the way through. Overall, if you like the Apatow movies you will like this one too. I give it a B+.

This was a delight to watch! I enjoyed this with several of my friends! We laughed and cried and it got us to talk about our early days of mother hood! Chick flick for sure!

This film is definitely one to see with your girlfriends. Be warned, language and sexual references are made throughout the whole movie. NOT A FAMILY FILM!

As someone who likes all kinds of movies, I thought that this selection would be a worthwhile watch. It was pretty good.

So the movie is about abandoning your kid so today's women can get laid. The lie about it once it starts happening. Slow, very poorly written. Not sure if it is even worth once star. More like a Amazon Prime freebie that should have been left at blockbuster.

Considering this movies plot was based on the main character taking responsibility for herself I felt the ending was predictable and wrapped in a nice hollywood bow.

Love it! Been a fan of krysten Ritter for a while and watched it solely because of her. Starts out kinda slow but for an indie movie it's really funny and refreshing. I wish these people were my friends and we would party together haha

Surprisingly Good!
I really liked this movie. It is a "chic flick," but really good. Not too sappy, good humor, good story, great acting. Loved it.

Funny story, predictable though
You can't really expect it to not be predictable, but it had a lot of funny parts. The ending was way too rushed. An entertaining watch though.

Worth watching, but not a light hearted comedy
I rented this movie based on the actors and did not know much about the story line. The plot has a good message and there are some funny parts. Totally worth renting.
