More than anything, the script, by Prathi Srinivasan and Joshua Levy, is funny. And Plan B works due to Verma and Moroles’ authentic, lived-in performances. Their rapport is delightful. Their delivery spot-on. Read full review

Every year seems to bring some new teen comedy that breaks through the clutter, showcasing new talent, and in this case, speaking to the times in a very specific way. 2021 is still young, but unless or until something better comes along, "Plan B" lays a pretty strong claim to that mantle.

Plan B is a girls-behaving-badly all-night-long road-trip comedy that’s built on a formula chassis, but it’s fast and funny, with a scandalous spirit, and it’s got a couple of lead performances that, if there’s any justice, should have the town talking. Read full review

Verma and Moroles stick together even when things get too crazy to believe—each ready to take a bullet for the other if necessary. Their comedic timing is only outdone by their authentic, heartfelt terror about the unknown. Never let your fear of what others might think outweigh the fear of letting it dictate who you become.

Plan B possesses the requisite number of outré sight gags and gross-out humor to qualify it as a sophomoric teen flick. But director Natalie Morales keeps the action running smoothly, allowing her two gifted stars to deliver genuine breakout performances in vivid roles. Read full review

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. They’re a pair of the most authentic 17-year-olds lately seen at the movies, something owed very definitely to two stars in the making in Verma and Moroles. Read full review

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

Hilarious and engaging buddy comedy with a serious message about the real life impacts of oppressive social policies. It never becomes preachy, indeed it’s laugh out loud for almost all of its short, fast-paced length. The two leads are a revelation, the story works surprisingly well, andHilarious and engaging buddy comedy with a serious message about the real life impacts of oppressive social policies. It never becomes preachy, indeed it’s laugh out loud for almost all of its short, fast-paced length. The two leads are a revelation, the story works surprisingly well, and the dialogue is sharp and believable. There’s one gross-out scene involving a dare and a piercing but that’s as close as it comes to crossing the current line. Highly recommended.… Expand
