this is one of those movies where you're not really sure whether the ending is happy or not... good movie, though. Laura Dern's great.

A good look into the extreme opinions on the ongoing abortion debate. Wonderful to see the irony of how people's ideals can sound sincere on paper, but when it comes down to it, the individual is left behind and forgotten for political purpose.

Some of the characters and dialog are very funny, almost as if they were lifted from a John Waters movie. At the end, though, the story isn't really satisfying, and you're left wondering, "Is that it?"

I admire this film more in principle than in execution. I'm not quite sure how it got made, but I'm glad it did.

Does a great job of showing people more excited about their cause than about the people directly affected by it. This film does have a perfect ending with the ultimate middle finger to both sides. A solid first film from Alexander Payne, who would go on to make some of my favorite comedies.

Makes fun of both sides equally. Funny and definitely worth seeing, especially as one of Alexander Payne's first movies

Funny satire that gives both sides an equal skewering, even though the pacing gets a little wonky sometimes.

I've been wanting to see this for years and finally happened across it in the bargain bin of a grocery store for $3.99. It was well worth the wait. Not my favorite movie from Alexander Payne, but it was nice to see where he started.

I love this film, a woman who either has an abortion or goes to jail, dont think its dipressing, its a barrel of laughs, she becomes a tool for both sides but eventualy accidently outwits every one

A weak and disappointing abortion satire from Alexander Payne. Still, it's fairly amusing and has some nice moments. (Payne's attention to detail is already here in his first film.)

(Payne's attention to detail is already here in his first film.) In any case, I'm willing to give the film three stars on the strength of Laura Dern's terrific performance. She was hilarious.

Another Alexander Payne classic!!!! Very dark and witty, exaggerating both sides of the issue of abortion.
