Redundant and unnecessary.
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
I first watched this film when i was ten years old and i loved it. i love babies and anything to do with babies. I now do health and social care and i realised what percentage of teenage girls actually get pregnant in a year. where i live in northolt we the second highest teenage pregnancy rate in england. But the main reason i liked this film is because it looks at what teenage mums or mums-to-be go through during or after their pregnancy. Fifteen and Pregnant also involved the good and bad possibilities that can happen and i think it showed any teenage girl who watch this film what to expect and will in the future. I would recommend this film to my friends. And it's one of those films that you watch over and over again. To be honest i watched it two days ago on true movies on sky. I think that more true stories like this should be shown in schools to cut down on pregnancy rates across the world. It may help, it may not, but we can try.
This movie is clearly the stereotypical adult's idea of what it must be like for a pregnant teenager. I have a hard time believing it was a "true story" from a real young mother at all.I am a young mother and I have met and talked to dozens of other young mothers and none of them would have ever dreamed of acting like Tina did. Tina was concerned only with her selfish and was shallow and vain, as was everyone else in the movie.For once I'd like to see a movie about teen pregnancy where the girl wasn't only concerned with gaining weight and actually succeeded in doing something with her life and didn't treat her child like a huge annoyance and burden.O/10 for this movie.
Fifteen and Pregnant is a typical 'Lifetime Network' Movie. Girl gets knocked up, family in turmoil, family gets over it, girl has the baby, movie skims over the gory details of teen motherhood.Kirsten Dunst plays a teenager still in high school who gets pregnant by her loser boyfriend. She has a friend who was a teen mom and offers Kirsten's character 'real world' advice. The movie ends after Kristin's character gives birth and leaves many realities of being a single teen mom out of the movie. All in all, it's a good story that focuses on the relationship between Kirsten's character and the father of the child and how her family triumphs over adversity. The story is more of how her family, her friends, her relationship with her boyfriend are all affected by the pregnancy and her personal struggle with her feelings and the other characters regarding the pregnancy.It's a good movie to see once if you like LMN and Lifetime Movies.
There is a fine line between being too strick and too loose as a parent. When a child for yours has a child of their own before they get into high school, that is a pretty big deal. Fifteen and pregnant portrays the Spangler family as a family with some problems, but I felt like they treated the whole pregnancy as a good thing. They never yelled at Tina (Kirsten Dunst) once for what she had done. They just accepted it. While I think parents should be more like that rather than mean and kick the child out, I don't feel like this is an accurate representation of how things should be or are. The love you see at the end of the movie between the whole family is great though and I wish life was more visibly like that; getting through a tradegy together with the people who love you.
