Plan B is a Teen Comedy that deals with what kids with raging hormones want sex, Sunny is a straight-laced high school student whose very familiar with her own body but wishes to have the sexual experience of her slacker best friend Lupe. During P.E. viewers are introduced to Sunny’s Love interest Hunter (Michael Provost) a jock-nerd that is most known for his sweater that makes him look like a librarian. After sweating it out, the locker room scene has the briefs antagonist Megan (Gus Birney) a girl who’s also wanting attention from Hunter, speak with her friend Emma (Hana Hayes) about their sexual endeavors. It established that the two love mess with Sunny and Lupe, however, Lupe won’t back down make the two feel stupid when trying to joke about her body hair. 

Following their sexual education class Lupe overhead Hunters speaking about Megan’s party being canceled, this the perfect opportunity for the classic teen movie trope for the least popular kid to throw a party that ever one will come to.

The next morning Sunny is giving a surprised when the condom she and Kyle used falls out while using the restroom, scared out of her mind of the fact she may be pregnant. Lupe and her head to the local pharmacy to get the Plan B pill but the pharmacist refused to give it to them. That rejection sends Sunny into worst-case scenario mode, as she looked for another option to acquire the pill, answer, a  planned Parenthood in Rapid City.

A comedy about emergency contraception? It's about 'the world around us,' says director Natalie Morales

This movie’s motivation and over-the-top actions take to make sure one doesn’t give birth is similar to HBO Max’s “Unpregnant” which confirmed that the main character is pregnant and also going to an entirely different state where abortion is legalized. The humorously outrageous trouble the friends get into is the same. However, in my opinion, the best scene in the movie was forcing the kids to watch an abstinence/anti-premarital sex video in which a woman’s virginity is compared to a car — her groom is horrified when he finds out her car is “used.” The kids fight back, as Hunter ask if his ride on public transportation meant he had several partners at once. Sunny gets in on the joke and the two share a moment. This movie is highly recommended to watch if you meet the age requirement.
