Critics Consensus

Plan B doesn't overplay its timely message -- and it doesn't have to, thanks to a sharp, funny script and the sparkling chemistry between its charming stars.

Fans of Booksmart, Blockers, and Unpregnant will find much to like here. But while the movie touches each of those films in some way, it also crafts a voice and narrative of its own.

TIME Magazine

For all the ways in which Plan B is sometimes thunderously obvious, there's still a lot going on beneath the surface.

Associated Press

Pointed as the message of "Plan B" is, nothing supersedes just letting these two characters - traditionally bit players at best in high-school comedies - be themselves.

Rated: 3/4

The Cinema Spot

By making the narrative authentic to profound extremes, the film’s final scenes strike as emotional and powerful.

CineWomen

Anchored by bright, bubbly performances from [Kuhoo] Verma and [Victoria] Moroles, Plan B has lower stakes... — Sunny doesn’t know that she’s pregnant and has a loving, if demanding, home life — and so can afford to turn the girls’ ordeal into a fun romp.

Radio Times

The two leads are utterly charming and play off one another beautifully, with an appropriately hyperactive style, while the final act strikes just the right emotional notes.

Rated: 3/5

Slow in the middle and painfully awkward in parts but entertaining enough at the start and end to make it worth a watch.

The beginning was promising. But it became so full of movie cliches and “try hard” jokes that I grew tired of it about 20 min in.

Amazing, will watch again. We need these low budget movies that take us along for ride. They just feel like a mini journey and they don't rely on cheap tricks.

Plan B is a delightful film that manages to make you laugh and also think just a little bit. It has an innate charm that is helped by two very good lead performances. Best friends Sunny and Lupe attend high school in South Dakota. One night at a party Sunny has a sexual encounter where the protection fails. The next morning they visit a chemist to buy the Plan B (morning after) pill. But the chemist won't sell it to them as they are under 18. So they plan a trip to Rapid City to visit a Planned Parenthood clinic. As you might guess nothing goes right on the road trip. So we get entwined in a funny road trip movie combined with some nuanced social commentary on how women's bodies are policed. It's a very winning film thanks to great performances from Kuhoo Verma and Victoria Moroles. They are very engaging as is this very well made film.

While there are many films out there with a similar or related premise, its a joy to see fresh films still offer something unique that make them worth the watch. Loved the performances of the two lead actors.
