Plot Summary
When Fred (Noah Bean) and Mindy (Rachel Boston) drink themselves into a booze-fueled night of passion, things get complicated the next morning when she informs him that she's not on birth control, and for some reason isn't too concerned. Determined not to become a father, Fred spends the day with Mindy to make sure she takes both doses (taken 12 hours apart) of the morning-after pill. The result is an all day adventure filled with socially awkward situations and untimely roadblocks as Fred struggles to preserve his New York City world in this modern take on the classic screwball comedy. Winning numerous best film and acting awards on the festival circuit, and featuring breakout performances from the two leads, this charming indie romantic comedy examines the immediate ramifications of casual dating in a poignantly funny, fresh, and very honest fashion.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: This might be more entertaining if any of the three main characters were at all likable.
Fresh: Deftly avoiding both the haphazardness of mumblecore and the fakery of studio romantic comedies, Khoury deploys a light directorial touch marked by assured thesping and a genuine appreciation for neurotic angst.
Fresh: What makes Khoury's film work-at least until its cop-out ending -- is the consistency of Fred's loathsomeness.
Fresh: While their story is feather-light, Khoury and his actors have each type down perfectly.

Most Honest Romantic Comedy in Ages
I saw this movie when it won the Audience Award at the Gen Art Film Festival, and it is incredible. It's hands-down the most honest, charming and real romantic comedy that I've seen in a long time. Script feels like old-school Woody Allen. And keep an eye out for the two leads, these actors are going places.
I LOVE this film!!
I saw this movie at the San Diego Film Festival. The summary caught my eye in the program description, and i took a chance...and boy was I happy I did. This is probably the most realistic portrayal that I have ever seen on film of what it's like to be single and dating in a big city. The situations are real and very funny, not slapstick or anything phony, just awkward and true to life and ultimately very charming. I felt myself torn between both the characters, siding with one, then the other, as they struggled with their situation. Even thought the characters were flawed, I could relate with what they were going through. The French parents were hilarious! My only complaint is why Hollywood doesn't make more movies like this instead of the fake crap they pump out. Definitely a must see!
New & Refreshing
Not typical boy meets girl. Truly unique. Beautifully shot. The cast was fantastic & have great chemistry together! Loved the ending.
