I watched this film whilst on holiday in Tenerife last year. I had to stay in and look after my then 18 month old daughter whilst my partner went down the pub with his friend. The film really hit reality for me. I was 17 when i fell pregnant and 18 when i gave birth to my daughter so a little older than Tina Spangler in the film but i could relate to all the emotions, hopes, the gutted feelings, the ups and downs that Kirsten Dunst played so well. When her friends turned against her, it was exactly what happened to me. But i soon found out into motherhood that you grow up quickly, you make new friends and have new prospects but best off all you have somebody to lavish all your love and attention on. I do not regret having my daughter and although i think this film would be fantastic to show to younger people to show them how hard pregnancy and parenthood can be, i don't think it would put teenagers and young mums off becoming a parent full stop. It was good to know that other people can understand and relate to teenage pregnancy and to make a film out of it was perfect.

this movie is one of the best movies that has ever come out. it is educational as well as great. it gave a real look into the world of a pregnant teen and how she deals w/ it. this movie is a inspiration to girls who are pregnant and who aren't it shows the girls who are going to have a baby how it might be like and who are thinking about having a baby the consequences. if a girl is going to have a baby and the guy leaves her, she can watch this movie and see how a regular teen who was in that situation how she felt. Kristen Dunst did a wonderful job and was very believable. i just wish that the message would get out to other teens.

i found "fifteen and Pregnant" to be a real moving story, also very true as to what would happen if a young girl was to get pregnant. Kirsten is a fantastic actor, especially in heart moving films like this one. her boyfriend is a drop kick and you can tell from the very beginning that he wont stick around, also the way he has the nerve to show up at the birth with his new girlfriend after just dumping Tina! very unappealing!but overall this movie will make you laugh, cry and sometimes get mad all at the same time. i put this as one of my most favorite movies yet. Fantastic Film!

Kirsten Dunst plays Tina Spangler, a young girl who's of course fifteen and pregnant. Dunst is a quite a good actress and she's made quite a few movies, which I've really enjoyed. Here she plays a more serious character then what she has done in some of her other 'teen' movies. Here she gives an okay performance, as do the rest of the cast. It's of course not oscar-winning but it's good enough. The story to the movie is interesting, but the script could of been better as it was a little slow. Overall, it's not too bad. It's recommended to most people out there.
