The Pill
VN:F [1.9.8_1114]
Rating: 3.8/5 (20 votes cast)

Worried that he has gotten the free-spirited Mindy (Rachel Boston) pregnant after a one-night stand, Fred (Noah Bean) spends the day with her 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. This charming indie romantic comedy examines the immediate ramifications of casual dating in a poignantly funny, fresh, and very honest fashion.
Why It's FilmBuff
We love The Pill for its honest look at relationships and its reach beyond the traditional romantic comedy genre. Told from a male perspective, the unexpected twists of heroes becoming antiheroes make us reflect on our own personal relationships. Are we always the hero in our own story? Instead of romanticizing the sex lives of young adults, J.C. Khoury shows us an accessible look at what it means to be a single 20-something in the 21st century.
