Obvious Child
CloseFor Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Obvious Child is a compassionate, unconventional, and very funny indie dramedy about a twentysomething woman who must make a complicated decision after a break up and subsequent hook-up brings her to a crossroads. The film uses humor to explore mature themes, including unexpected pregnancy, modern-day romantic entanglements, and unemployment. Characters swear constantly (including the "f--k," "s--t," and much more) and drink, sometimes to the point of inebriation. There's no outright nudity, but expect plenty of frank talk and jokes about sex.
- Sexual Content
- Lots of raunchy talk about body parts and sex (mostly jokes), and some kissing and making out in underwear, but no nudity. The fall-out of an unexpected pregnancy (after unsafe sex) is at the heart of the movie.
- Violence
- Some yelling and screaming.
- Language
- Very frequent use of every swear word in the book, including "f--k," "s--t," "bitch," "p---y," "c--t," and more.
- Social Behavior
- When you find yourself in a bind, trust yourself to figure out what to do, and reach out to others when you need help. If you make a mistake, accept that there are consequences, and deal with them.
- Consumerism
- Some logos seen, mainly an Apple computer and iPhone. Some brands are also mentioned, including Kia, Eileen Fisher, and Tylenol PM.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Lots of drinking in bars, with one scene showing a woman, who's upset at having been dumped, downing shots and swigging liquor from an open bottle. A major plot point develops because the characters get so inebriated that they have unprotected sex.
