"While the premise may sound on paper like the setup for a loud, crude 00s comedy, this is a much more finely tuned piece of work than that, with engaging characters and an impeccably calibrated plot full of plausible twists and turns that are wild yet still realistic."
"It's true that the spiky rat-a-tat dialogue, reminiscent of both 90s sitcoms and 30s and 40s screwball comedy, isn't quite how people talk in the real world, but it's highly enjoyable when delivered by a good-looking and charismatic cast, among whom the standout is Deutch, who peels back the layers of a tough-cookie character to show the vulnerable human underneath."
Connor, Olivia and Jenny navigate emotional and practical fallout after a drunken threesome leads to one or two pregnancies. The plot balances plausibility and wild turns, with characters who respond like actual humans so consequences feel earned. The dialogue is spiky and screwball-inflected, trading realism for rhythmic wit that plays well with a charismatic, attractive cast. Zoey Deutch stands out by revealing vulnerability beneath a tough exterior, while Jonah Hauer-King provides refreshing, super-smitten male-lead energy. Ruby Cruz grounds the story with low-key tenacity and dignity as the emotional through-line. The film generates laughter and genuine sentiment while rooting for positive outcomes for all.
