After straight A student Sunny(Verma, tightly wound) has sex, she realises that the condom failed. She and her best friend, the slacker Lupe(Moroles, rebelling against the expectations of her father and others), must go on a quest to track down a Plan B pill before the window closes.
This movie wears its progressive politics on its sleeves, and is careful to make each clear expression of them either very funny or moving. Lots of ammo, many targets, and it's one bullseye after another. The defining trait of this ideology is empathy, and while a lot of movies run on clear interpersonal conflict, this one shows that a lot of people are hurt by the things that it criticizes, including some that you might not guess. Don't believe the people who said that it doesn't have any good people who are white, Christian, male etc.
The duo are incredible together. Immense chemistry and talent on display. Every major character will get some strong characterisation over the course of this, though for some of them, it's only close to the end. As a raunchy teen sex comedy, it delivers: people talk about it in detail, there's at least one scene of it, there are drugs and swearing. None of it was just plopped down in front of the audience and we're expected to find it funny because it is taboo. They always made sure that there would be an actual punchline there.
I recommend this to anyone that enjoys the sub-genre. 7/10.
