This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

i came into this movie thinking it was just another same ole, bad acting lifetime movie that i caught on TV the other day so thought i'd sit through it. i sensed the kind of vibe the movie was trying to set within the first 10 mins and thought it'd head the way movies of a similar nature would go. but the movie got me hooked the more i watched and in the end, it caught me off guard in the most unexpected way.i won't spoil it, but will just say that i was real surprised by this movie, being that it was a movie made for TV. powerful performances by danielle panabaker, jane krakowski and mercedes ruehl, and just, in general, a good, emotional story about the journey of a young mother.now, THIS is what a made-for-TV movie should be like

Absolutely amazing.. What else can i say? I'm a 22 Year old male, and i do have a daughter of my own, this movie was great, from the start i was glued to the screen and i was still there at the end, and i didn't even move to grab a drink, or go the loo.I found this movie very emotional, and near the end i was almost in tears, and had a lump in my throat.. i'm not ashamed to admit that.What Jacey did was amazing and was a very tough decision for her, and i feel i can relate to how she felt, as i have been in this situation myself. I will certainly buy the DVD for this once its out. 10/10. Well done.

For the most part I really enjoyed this movie (contains some vague possible spoilers).... The script was really there, wasn't at all unreal with a few minor exceptions. And the actors really were on their game. In particular singling out the ever talented Danielle Panabaker, whom I've really been a fan of for a long while and feel she really has a future in the acting world. The mother of a child at only sixteen, she as did her character's family, demonstrated that having a child so young is really hard and isn't something that should be taken lightly. So often you'd expect to see a family rallying to the cause in a movie such as this, but in this movie you didn't and because her world wasn't coming up roses despite the fact of having had a child really made it all the more interesting.What wasn't interesting however, and where those exceptions come into play, was when it started to become preachy documentary. As you would expect for a movie of this type, it quoted facts and statistics and then had what I'd call a "7th Heaven" moment in the school auditorium. I may be saying the wrong thing here, but since when have schools given more than a fleeting conversation or class time to such a thing as teen pregnancy? Maybe that's what's wrong with schools? I myself can only remember one and only one health class in my four years of high school, and that was more about STD's. I'm also not belittling teen mom's, but on parade? Didn't we at all expect that at some point in the movie once Jacey started hanging out with the other teen mothers? Maybe perhaps it would take something like that to scare kids into changing their ways, like putting a wrecked out car on the school front lawn to demonstrate the possible consequences of drunk driving, but I'd more likely guess that today's kids are rather very set in their ways. Cause even wreaked out cars aren't keeping our children from in some cases drinking and driving themselves to death.I lastly had a serious problem with the girls choice of dress and the guys reaction to them. I couldn't imagine a girl being allowed into my school, or most any reputable school dressed such as some of these girls were dressed. And guys hooting and hollering at them such as they were? Do I dare ask if that even goes on? Overall I really enjoyed this movie. I didn't so much like the preachy moments as stated above. But I also liked how such an event as befell Jacey wasn't just a speed bump in the road of her family's life but rather a train wreck. Cause sure, by the end of the movie it was all roses, but it definitely didn't start out that way.Bello

If your a fan of lifetime, you will probably find this movie "touching", "inspirational", and "realistic". If you are a teenager like myself who once and awhile stumbles across a movie such as this one, you will find it utterly phony and predictable.The part that really annoyed me about this movie was the fact that when they would talk about girls doing slutty things in high school, or dress code violations, the girls would stand up and show themselves off while the guys whistle. Excuse me???? At least from my personal experience, that has never been the case. Yes the girls want to express themselves through clothes, but every time someone said "You look slutty in that outfit.", the girl who it was being directed to would blush or try to shrug it off.The whole film was predictable, and I found myself saying "How much longer till she gives the baby to the blonde teacher and her husband?" The only part remotely enjoyable about it was the actress who played Jacey (awful name by the way). For some reason, I could not stop staring at her. Perhaps its because of her deep performance or perhaps the striking resemblance to Lindsay Lohan ala Freaky Friday. Those were the good IL' days...
