Plot and thematic comparisons to Unpregnant and Booksmart aside, this one's an enjoyable coming-of-age road movie centered around a pair of 17-year-olds. The lead girls (Kuhoo Verma & Victoria Moroles) deliver excellent performances. Natalie Morales' directorial debut largely works thanks to them. Their bestie-chemistry is convincing and heartfelt. While Plan B's first act is pretty tame, it gets raunchier, funnier, and bolder when the girls hit the road looking for the morning-after pill. As far as the humour is concerned, it mostly hit the mark for me. Except for a few (casually) racist asides and some odd practical humour (involving mud, broken windows, and piercings), quite a few genuine laughs can be expected. The ending does fall back to cheesy levels of predictable, but it didn't hamper the viewing experience all that much. It's indeed fun to view things from the young, straight/queer woman perspective in a sex comedy that highlights the lack of access to reproductive health care.
