There’s no shortage of great romantic comedies available with a Netflix subscription, both in terms of classics and new originals. However, I recently discovered that one of my all-time favorites was back on the streamer, and I had to watch it again. Upon revisiting Obvious Child, I quickly remembered why I fell in love with this Jenny Slate comedy back in 2014: it’s funny, it’s clever, and it’s unafraid to tackle some heavy topics.
Revisiting one of my favorite comedies also reminded me that this movie might be too dark for some people. It’s not like there’s a distressing tone or any terrifying moments, but the way it handles the topic of abortion and weighing the decision to get one or not could be too much for some people. That said, here’s why you should give this one another watch (or check it out for the first time).
