This Danny Aiello, Dermot Mulroney flick is really obscure. I took a
chance and bought it based on customer reviews. What a surprise. It
takes a familiar plot and delivers a first-class, emotionally powerful
positive film. Teenage girl gets pregnant unexpectedly, boyfriend
doesn't want to become a Dad. Not very unusual. But as it plays out,
it is a touching, well acted, and believable story, leaving the viewer
satisfied, and getting a few tears along the way without being a tear-jerker. Only problem is the protagonists are obviously not of high-
school age, typical of these teen-themed movies.

What a testament to the need to discuss birth control with young people. This film shows how the unplanned birth of a baby can wreak havoc on everyone's lives especially teens, who are not prepared for the reality of pregnancy and parenthood. Pregnancy is not all about cute little maternity outfits and precious little babies. It's about mood swings and money and sleepless nights and (lack of) money and committment and patience. It gives a glimpse into the reason why the death of young dreams and ambition often mean the death of loving relationships. Dermot Mulroney did his usual great job as the conflicted young man and Patricia Arquette gave the pregnant young woman's part a real shot of realism. Not a comedy, folks.

I first saw this movie in Junior High in my Home Ec. class when we were learning about teen pregnancy. It's a bit dated since it was made in the 80s but it's a great movie. It's a realistic look at what can happen to a teen couple when they don't practice safe sex. The story central's on Bobby a teenage boy who's idea of safe sex is the pulling out method. He dates Stacy for a while and then after a few dates, like many young men, he starts becoming interested in some one else. Then Stacy tells Bobby that she's pregnant. Bobby tries to get her to have an abortion, then he ignores her as though she'll go away, then tries to be responsible and help her with the baby by moving in with her. He deals trying to be a parent, graduating high school and then he's accepted to college and he has to decide between helping Stacy with their child or going away to college. It's very well done and a must see for parents with their children.
