It was enjoyable to watch if you turn off your brain. A young woman in Texas doesn’t contemplate an abortion when she becomes pregnant, despite using birth control during sex. She has her parents to fall back on. Baby daddy only has eyes for her - he supports her and the child emotionally and financially. Despite having sex when they weren’t a couple and there was no commitment, gabe always was in love with her and wanted commitment, passing up casual sex and partying in his early 20s? So unrealistic. The obstacles Natalie faces as a childless young adult in LA are tiny compared to those she faces as a young mother, yet we are supposed to conclude that each path has its ups and downs and each can lead to happiness. But most 22 year old mothers do not have upper middle class parents with no other children who can give a free home, financial support, and babysitting. And most baby daddies will be dead beat men who don’t feel even an ounce of love for the mother of their children. And this movie comes at a time when abortion is illegal in many states, like Texas? Definitely no ulterior motives here.
