Good Movie To Show TeenAgers

This is a pretty good movie and an excellent movie to show to teenagers who thinks they are ready for a baby.Fifteen & Pregnant stars Kirsten Dunst (Interview With The Vampire) as Tina, a 15 year old girl who thinks she has the perfect life. Parents she occasionally gets along with, a lot of friends to hang out with, and a boyfriend she loves and who acts like he loves her back. Then the unexpected happens. She gets pregnant. Then her whole life is changed forever. Her mother played by Park Overall (Empty Nest) doesn't want to give it up for adoption but isn't too thrilled with the idea of her keeping it either. Her father, who is trying to be forgiven for an affair is supportive of Tina, mainly cause he doesn't really know what else to do. Her brother and sister are embarrassed by her. Her so called boyfriend is more like a wolf in sheep's clothing. She has a friend, who is single and a little older than her and has a baby. Her friend can see Tina has no idea what she's getting herself into.As I've said, the movie is a good movie to show to a teenager who thinks they are ready for a baby. The performances are good, especially from Park Overall and Kirsten Dunst. I only have two problems with this movie. First is that none of the characters are very likable. Even Tina the main character. She's a real bitc* to anyone who looks at her wrong and I had a hard time feeling sorry for her and feeling anything for her really. I wanted to slap her a few times. Park Overall's character is also a bit hard to like.The second thing I don't like is that the first hour and a half of the movie is very believable but during the last 1/2 hour it loses its realism and goes for the happy ending where everyone is suddenly happy and everyone is one big perfect happy family. It's as if the past hour and a half never happened and everyone changes personalities overnight.Grade wise I'd have to give it a C+ for lack of sympathy for any of the characters and the ending.

I cant fully comment on what i think about the movie because it has been years since i have seen it and have not seen it in its entirety.I know that typically 15 year olds' don't get pregnant often in our society, but if it is to happen it is the result of bad parenting skills. Spend more time at home talking with your kids instead of letting them busy themselves with television, they would be informed that sex at a young age leads to a lot of preventable problems. I feel very lucky that i was fortunate enough to be paid attention to and didn't have to look for love in the wrong places. Thanks mom!! But i really came on her to ask if anyone might have the movie and wouldn't mind uploading it on you-tube or my-space so i can truly and sincerely say how i feel about the movie. Thank you.
