Really? The reason she has a happy ending whether she is pregnant or not is… In both scenarios she ends up partnered with a man. Not because she succeeds in her art. Which she does. But because she won a man. Give me a break. Worst romcom ever.

My daughter and I watch lots of rom coms together and this is one of the better ones. The writing is remarkably good as it lends truth to parallel storylines - one involving young parenthood, and the other involving a young animator's career. There is a dizzying amount of switching between these storylines, however the film is rewarding if you can keep up. It also has a strong message about there being no bad decisions at critical junctures in life, as you never know where the future will lead.

It was okay. Decent performance with a generic plot but not bad at the way it was presented. You’ll have a decent time with this but easily forgettable.

(Mauro Lanari) "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans," Lennon sang in "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)," a quote from Allen Saunders' 1957 phrase and, most importantly, a track released on November 17, 1980, three weeks before Mark David Chapman shot and killed him on December 8. To analyze the teen movie directed by the Kenyan Kahiu it is not necessary to disturb Howitt ("Sliding Doors" 1998) and even less Kieślowski ("Blind Chance" 1981/'87); it is also irrelevant to allude to the butterfly effect. It is a reassuring film about two students in their last year of college (and not high school) who still use the condom as a contraceptive and not the safer pill, since they come from wealthy families able to manage any consequence of their reckless decisions. That same kind of families who are Netflix subscriber customers. Finally, lesbian scenes appear only for the sake of it.

Lili Reinhart is competent as a leading actress, if not necessarily outstanding. However, little of what is shown along the way has any noteworthy emotional resonance. I mean, the sentiments of what it tries to explore are adequate and you can easily empathize, but the execution is too basic for you to actually care. Of course it doesn't seek to be special, but its purpose as a content filler is all too noticeable.

Absolutely boring and unrealistic. It was just a waste of time. Never ever i watch it again.

Emotional, sentimental, and related for the early 20s! This movie is about pregnancy, marriage, and career issues in early adulthood. It’s really good to describe “anxiety, fear & distrust” issues to become parents and a married couple after college. They were a best friend with very different life: a) the girl is a strong academic planner and ambitious animator wanna-be, meanwhile b) the boy is not an academic planner but an ambitious drummer. The narration is well-made by creating two separate stories throughout the entire movie. The first story is about a condition if they were a parent but not a married couple because of an unexpected pregnancy. The second story is a condition if they weren't a parent, not a married couple, and no one gets pregnant. The best thing is both of the stories are narrated at the same time to keep us looking both ways. Easy to understand and related stories for the early adults (age 20s) are the main pros. Two separate narrations that run at the same time is another pro. The moral lesson is well-delivered through emotional and sentimental moments. Besides that, everything is just standard. The acting performance, music, visuals, and set are just typical. Personally, nothing special except my main motivation to see Lili Reinhart (Riverdale actress) and a lil bit of motivation to see Danny Ramirez (Top Gun: Maverick actor) as the main cast. Nevertheless, this movie is fun to watch, sentimental, and has a lot of moral lessons but don’t expect too much. It's suitable for everyone in the early adults, age 20s. But, it can also be suitable for anyone who wants to feel nostalgia about the drama of age 20s. As always, I didn’t expect anything before watching. Enjoy this movie on Netflix and nothing to lose. Fresh from the oven! Just released on the 17th of August 2022!
