Nonureva Really Surprised!

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Nicholas Rhodes I recently saw part of this on French TV under the title "Trop Jeune pour Etre Papa" and decided that I MUST have the whole film on DVD. Various checks on the internet led me to find out that worldwide it was only available in the USA on a double DVD with another Film called Mom ( presumably Mother !! ) at sixteen and under the title "Lifetime". I have no idea what "Lifetime" refers to, I presume its a new DVD Company ! My appreciation of the film is very positive indeed but I will start with the one negative point that bugged me and that was the attitude of Matt's mother towards her children and especially towards his sister. After all she was EIGHTEEN years old and this stupid woman was telling her that she couldn't smoke ( I mean if you can't smoke in your own bedroom where CAN you smoke ?? ) and also that she could not have her ears pierced. I cannot see the importance of these subjects in the film, both smoking and ear-piercing are pleasures that have been around for many years and have no impact on the subject matter of the film ! That out of the way, I thought the general acting throughout the film was EXCELLENT, especially the character of Matt who came over as very human and very realistic. Francesca's father came over as a generally unpleasant character, especially later on, though I admit that the actor in question has a face you just cannot forget and I have seen him in numerous other films. The young boy's attitude to the baby is so touching and I was his impressed by his going to work in the pizzeria to help contribute to the upkeep of the child. The whole story comes across as very human and generally the characters very true to life : there are some inconsistencies in the script ... when we see the baby at the end, she doesn't look new-born but appears like a child a few months old....when the two teens have had sex, they are sitting in bed looking at the sky as if the sex had not worked out correctly but events subsequently proved the sex had been efficacious !!! But these are minor blemishes on a film which will fill the hearts of those, who like myself, are attracted to modern-day family dramas, and which the Americans, without any doubt, are the best in the world at producing.

twistedrainbows I love this movie. Its great, it shows what goes on with teenagers at times like that. Paul Dano in this movie better then in The Girl Next Door. There's drama but its good. He showed that you have to be responsible about the stuff you do. I admit i cried a little but i guess thats what they were aiming for but I love it. Its a really great movie. I'd watch it more if it came on. But hes a really good actor and he set the mood in it. It just goes to show you that people can be very responsible about having a baby at a young age. Of course I'm not saying its good for kids the age of 15 to have a baby but if it happens there's really nothing you can do much anyways. But i also wonder if guys watch it, you know kinda guide them along if it ever happens. It sets a great example for guys to handle it.

Kendra SPOILER WARNINGThis movie is definitely in my list of good made-for-tv movies. It takes you into the world of Matt Freeman. He's fifteen, on the honor roll, and has two wonderful girls for friends. Then he makes his mistake. He sleeps with one of them (Francesca) only once, and gets her pregnant. From there the movie shows all the difficult choices he has to make, like sacrificing his good grades for a teen-parent program at school, getting a full-time job at a pizza place to pay Francesca's medical bills, and signing the baby away for adoption. His family is nearly torn apart by this, but they manage to stay together, and grow even stronger when Matt, after meeting his daughter for the first time, decides to keep her. This ends up becoming the family's decision, and we are left with the feeling that this is really what goes on with a young man when this happens to him.

Darkme435 This is one of the best made for cable movies ever. If this helps just one teen not to go through what those two teens went through. It will be enough. What happened in the end because i missed it. My hope is that families will discuss this movie, and dicuss what to do in this situation.
