 História super bem contada June 26, 2009

história super bem contada, sem cair no clichê. Contada a história de uma garota que fica grávida quando mal completa 15 anos,ou seja, uma garota que ainda está no ensino fundamental. Uma garota bem egoísta, diga-se de passagem.Sua passagem de pré-adolescente à adolescente vem acompanhada de um filho.
Mostra também como seus pais tentam lidar com isso. O pai deveria ter apresentado uma reação maior, tanto em relação à filha quanto ao pai da criança.
Apenas no final do filme há uma escorregada quando o pai volta para casa.Afinal não há uma justificativa para a separação, menos ainda para sua volta.
Deveria ter uma continuação, mostrando se a adolescente realmente iria amadurecer como sua amiga que também era mãe adolescente.

It was alright. The movie was not what I was expecting... there are much better movies out there now a days, like To young to be a dad and such.
History's Greatest Paradox? May 27, 2008

I hate the LifeTime channel. It's not that it's considered a "women's"channel but that it really panders to women and badly. I can't even surf past it without bleeding from the ears. And like most right thinking men, I hate Kirsten Dunst, for at least three reason. 1). She has teeth only a Brit would envy. 2). Her enormous,fat,pasty Stay Puff Marshmallow Man head. 3). She thinks the Spider-Man movies would flop without her. Really? The same Spider-Man who has been around for almost twice as long as Dunst herself has? The Spider-Man who is arguably the planet's most popular superhero? Would flop without her? Wow!
Here's the paradox. While I hate both Lifetime and Kirsten Dunst, there is a Kirsten Dunst movie that I will watch anytime it is on Lifetime. It's called 15 and Pregnant and it's a typical after school special screed against the dangers of teen pregnancy. Kirsten Dunst cries in it. A lot. And mean as it sounds, I like watching Kristen Dunst cry. She just wallows in her misery in this movie, just rolls around in misery like a pig in slop, and it's hilarious. Anyone else I'd feel sympathetic, but because its Miss "I'm cooler than Spider-man" I get a kick out of it. The rest of the movie is pretty over-wrought, it's certainly no "Juno". Like I said, I mostly like this movie because Dunst cries a river in it. And makes some pretty funny faces as well.
Too bad I wasn't at the premiere of Marie Antoinette.

This is a good film with a message for all families bringing up children - teenagers and with a good moral to it
 Typical teen pregnancy movie June 22, 2007

This movie is okay overall and I've watched it several times on TV. But it's nothing new as far as the whole stereotypical "teen girl gets pregnant" movie. They show Tina (Kirsten's character) in the opening sequence about to do it with her boyfriend and she says, "Don't tell me you love me if you don't mean it." Not surprisingly he didn't reply. But it's sad that she went ahead and slept with him anyway. It shows how desperate young girls are to feel like a boy likes them, let alone loves them. It's realistic in portraying teen girls' vulnerability and also poor decision making! To make matters more dramatic, Tina's parents are separated and her younger sister and brother have their own issues because of that. So add a teen pregnancy and you've got a Lifetime movie du jour.
I think teens should watch it - if you can get past the cheesy music and predictable, overly done scenes with Tina's "rebel without a cause" boyfriend. It's predictable but worth watching. But I think they should have showed Tina's life AFTER she had the baby, too. Sure babies are all cute when you bring them home from the hospital but showing Tina as a teen Mom may have packed more of a punch for teen girls who still think that having a baby around is a breeze.
