Free spirited (if that's what you want to call it) Mindy (Rachel Boston) invites writer Fred (Noah Bean) back to her apartment for a drink after meeting earlier that night. It's pretty obvious what her intentions are. Fred on the other hand seems really hesitant the whole time. But more like a chicken rather than nervous kind of hesitation is that makes sense. They play a drinking game and one thing leads to another and they almost have sex. Almost as in, Fred took too long putting on a condom and Mindy fell asleep.
Later in the night, she awakes to a "happy" sleeping boy so she decides to wake him up by getting on top of him. Instead of letting him do the responsible thing and put on a condom she holds him tight hoping it would bring them closer together. In the morning, Fred is about to leave when he remembers having unprotected sex. He asks her is she is on the pill. Nope. Catholic. Fred starts freaking out, when Mindy reassures him that she knows her body and she isn't ovulating. That answer isn't good enough for Fred.
He forces her down to the local pharmacy, where he makes her take the morning after pill in a very jerkish way if you ask me. Naturally she gets annoyed and pissed off and walks off leaving him with the bill. When the pharmacist rings him up, he tells him to make sure she takes the pill with food because she might throw it up. She also has to take the second pill in twelve hours. Not having Mindy's number, he quickly pays and then chases after her. He tricks her into eating breakfast with him by pretending to be interested in her. When his true intentions come out (but not the mention of the second pill), she uses it to her advantage and makes him come to her ex boyfriend's with her to get the rest of her stuff and even tells her family that Fred is her new boyfriend when they show up to her brother's wedding.
Throughout the day Fred becomes more drawn to Mindy. But he has to leave her briefly to greet his live in girlfriend when she gets home from a business trip. Now this girl, Nelly (Anna Chlumsky), is the exact opposite of Mindy. And Fred's demeanour changes the moment they are together. He fakes an excuse to get back to Mindy so he can make sure that she takes the second pill, but things go a little sour when Mindy finds out about Nelly.
Netflix gave it a pretty low rating and I even read a couple of the reviews on Netflix about this movie, however I didn't think it was that bad. Sure it was a little ridiculous at times and the characters didn't seem quite fleshed out, but it was an interesting idea. I feel like they could have gone about it to make the people not seem crazy. But it had me laughing (maybe not for the right reasons).
