What I Watched -- Obvious Child

E recommended Obvious Child to me, and of course I'm going to watch anything which is in any way related to Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (the first, second, third)!

Obvious Child is the amusing tale of a directionless twenty-something out-of-work stand-up comedian who gets pregnant during a drunken one night stand.  (The twenty-something is played by Jenny Slate, who voices Marcel.)  What I liked best about the film was that it takes an honest look at abortion, not a judgmental one.

Bottom line: manages to be funny about a serious topic.
