Touches You

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

It sure was a movie. Acting was eh. Had one or two heartfelt moments. Pauly shore's second performance. It was fine.

"For Keeps" is not a totally bad movie show boating the challenges facing two oooey gooey teens in the arms of passion and in love & just trying to raise a family in modern times.But there are some awkward and sappy moments. First, I can't describe it here, but to those who have taken sex-ed classes in school....The opening credits scene just leaves me with uncomfortable image...But we see two small town teens that you know will end up with a unplanned pregnancy because they are making out like rabbits.Which is what happens....along with some sappy dialogue and those awful cliché moments, Darcy and Stan live the bitter with the sweet. Trying to fight the world, but you know it will turn out o.k because these crazy kids are just too much in love.Despite the corny situations and scenes, it does show a perspective on teen pregnancies. In my opinion, I think life is a lot more tougher in the cold cruel world, but what the heck! it's only a movie

A high school ace with everything going for her goofs up and gets pregnant; her mother is devastated, and her boyfriend's parents object, but the teens get married and hope for the best. Molly Ringwald's appealing personality manages to shine through the plastic coating and convictionless screenplay by Denise DeClue and Tim Kazurinsky, good writers who have no idea what tone to set--nor how to wrap things up. The adults are shrill caricatures played cartoonishly over-the-top, while newcomer Randall Batinkoff is just average. Ringwald's career became rudderless after out-growing the John Hughes/teen-angst comedies which made her a star, so why in "For Keeps?" is she back in high school? It's a defeatist move, and while Ringwald never embarrasses herself, she's obviously too smart a cookie to lend any kind of credibility to this hackneyed scenario. ** from ****

I am a sucker for chic flics and this one is the best I have ever seen. Made me so happy after I saw it the first time. Great movie, teaches some good lessons, and has plenty of comedy in it also. In my mind gets ten stars for what it is. I Loved it :)
