Here is the synopsis for “Obvious Child”:

For aspiring comedian Donna Stern, everyday life as a 20-something female provides ample material for her incredibly relatable brand of humor. On stage, Donna is unapologetically herself – joking about topics as intimate as her sex life and as crude as her day-old underwear. But when Donna gets dumped, loses her job and finds herself pregnant just in time for Valentine’s Day, she has to navigate the murky waters of independent adulthood for the first time.

As she grapples with an uncertain financial future, an unwanted pregnancy and a surprising new suitor, Donna begins to discover that the most terrifying thing about adulthood isn’t facing it all on her own. It’s allowing herself to accept the support and love of others and to be truly vulnerable. Never failing to find the comedy and humanity in each awkward situation she encounters, Donna finds out along the way what it means to be as brave in life as she is on stage.

Anchored by a breakout performance from Jenny Slate, “Obvious Child” is a winning discovery that is packed tight with raw, energetic comedy and moments of poignant human honesty. Writer and director Gillian Robespierre handles the topic of Donna’s unwanted pregnancy with a refreshing matter-of-factness that is rarely seen on screen. With Donna, Slate and Robespierre have crafted a character for the ages: a female audiences will recognize, cheer for and love.

NO-SHOW POLICY
HollywoodChicago.com works hard to coordinate our giveaways for you with the movie studios. If you enter to win and are fortunate enough to be awarded, we expect you to attend. If you reply saying you can’t attend – or don’t show up at all without notifying us – that opportunity goes to waste and another lucky HollywoodChicago.com winner misses out on enjoying what you would have. We use various forms of tracking technologies to know whether or not you attended. When you win and don’t attend, reputation points will be counted against you and you’ll win less frequently. If you enter to win, please make sure you can attend if you do win. Thank you.

DISCLAIMER
Winners must arrive early as seats are consumed on a first-come, first-served basis. Since showings are slightly overbooked to ensure a full house, winners are not guaranteed entrance and must arrive early. We recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before the showing’s scheduled start time. HollywoodChicago.com LLC is a promotional partner with the studio and its partners and does not assume any liability for this giveaway. HollywoodChicago.com is not responsible for errors or omissions entered in user submissions. Comments are closed in this Hookup.
