Donna Stern is a Brooklyn comedian who gets heartlessly dumped by her two-timing boyfriend. While trying to drown her troubles at the stand-up comedy club, she has a drunken one night stand with a cute young professional named Max (who's not even remotely her type) to end up pregnant. Donna has to do what is expected of a 'responsible adult' just in time for the best/worst Valentine's Day of her life. "A movie that feels risky and forgiving and, despite its traditional rom-com contours, refreshingly new."--Washington Post. "It's both funny and serious without trying too hard to be either, and by trying above all to be honest."--A.O. Scott. "Robespierre and company deserve high praise for tackling a story with such a difficult subject at its heart, with a combination of grace, humour and courage."--Toronto Star. "Slate is terrific."--Hollywood Reporter.
MPAA rating: R.
