A film about a woman who is accidentally 'knocked up'? Although it may seem like we've seen it all before, new offbeat indie flick Obvious Child, which stars hotly tipped newcomer Jenny Slate, is nothing like your average rom-com.
Obvious Child follows Donna Stern, an aspiring comedian who has her life turned upside down by pregnancy and finds herself facing the terrifying uncertainties of adulthood.
Vulnerably portrayed, honest, yet laugh-out-loud funny don't miss it.
