That fate keeps throwing Maggie (Greta Gerwig) curveballs matters to not a woman determined to control her own destiny in Rebecca Miller's (The Private Lives of Pippa Lee) smart, goofy and offbeat delight of a film.

Just when career advisor Maggie decides to put her romantic misadventures behind her and embark on motherhood alone through artificial insemination, things start to get messy when she meets John (Ethan Hawke), a would-be novelist unhappily married to an academic superstar (Julianne Moore), and they fall in love. But wait - just where most contemporary romantic comedies end, Miller's film is just getting started... and with a little help from her best friends (Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph, who are hilarious), Maggie devises a madcap scheme to put everything right again.

A real joy from start to finish, Maggie's Plan is a satirical take on the follies of New York intelligentsia that both recalls and refreshes anything we've seen from Woody Allen. Enjoy!
