Hulu might be the home of this year s Booksmart with Plan B, a bawdy coming-of-age teen comedy that also comes with a sharply incorporated message. Directed by actor Natalie Morales ( Parks and Recreation ), the edgy nature of the material shouldn t overshadow the stellar performances and timely window into efforts to curb women s reproductive rights.

Hulu presents a film directed by Natalie Morales and written by Prathi Srinivasan and Joshua Levy. No MPAA rating (contains language and sexual material that would suggest an R rating). Running time: 108 minutes. Available Friday on Hulu.
Morales’ film seems destined to be compared to Olivia Wilde’s “Booksmart,” which arrived in theaters almost exactly two years ago. Both are helmed with a veteran filmmaker’s sense of timing by actors-turned-first-time-directors. (Morales has been a familiar face in film and TV for the past 15 years.) Both feature a pair of breakthrough performances. And both bring a funny, feminist spin to a traditionally boyish and often boorish movie genre.
