In voices steeped with shock, CNN's Anderson Cooper and some less-famous newsreaders report on a story involving high school girls who made a pact to get pregnant at the same time. The opening reveals, "This film is the story of a fictional 'pregnancy pact' set against actual news reports from June 2008, and although some of the locations and public figures are real, any resemblance to actual persons is purely coincidental." The young women have sex because they think raising babies at the same time will be fun. They want to dress them in cute little matching outfits and go to the park...Gloucester, MA graduate Thora Birch (as Sidney Bloom) hears about the rise in pregnancy at her old high school. She's a professional video blogger and decides the spiking pregnancy rate will be a good Internet story. Arriving home with a secret past, Ms. Birch befriends pretty 15-year-old Madisen Beaty (as Sara Dougan). The red-haired teenager decides to bag (okay, no bag) cute basketball player Max Ehrich (as Jesse Moretti)..."The Pregnancy Pact" is probably good in bringing topics up for discussion among young students and, hopefully, some trusted adults. As a story, it doesn't hold up well. It's difficult to believe events unfolded as they did on screen. We wonder, even though Mr. Ehrich appears mature for his age, how a 16-year-old has continued success with the withdrawal method. Their high school has "day care" for students' babies, but nobody seems to know much about how they got there. The leader of the group exclaims, "It hurts!" and doesn't even know what the word "pact" means...From the opening, the high school looks too sexy and unsupervised to be a special school. Birth control can be more than abstinence, condoms and the withdrawal method. The birth control pill would have given the girl's pan to "get pregnant" more credence. She's not responsible for the "gift from God," if he's the one deciding to "pull out." It doesn't make sense. However, since she lied about the pact, the basic story still works.***** The Pregnancy Pact (1/23/10) Rosemary Rodriguez ~ Madisen Beaty, Thora Birch, Jesse Moretti, David Clayton Rogers

I was dying to see this movie as we did a lot stuff at school on Juno and the whole teen pregnancy thing in my media class and really wanted to see if this movie added the "hype" about pregnancy that the media is always talking about. I was mistaken. If your expecting awesome characters with a bubbly cute and cool storyline this one is not for you but at the same time it does dive right into the teen pregnancy and high school issues while still being able to quickly brush over the main points. In the beginning, the movie starts off in a little high school in a tight-knit community that does not provide birth control and girls in certain cliques want to be pregnant and have a baby whether the boyfriend or guy wants to or not. A reporter comes back to her home town as a rapid number of teen pregnancies spikes interest for her teen web page. Then the notion of a "pact" between a group of girls comes out and becomes the hottest topic of the week in the end the reporter tries to help the girls in the so called "pact", causes a bit of trouble and eventually finds out the real truth. In my opinion I was a bit disappointed with the movie but found it quite interesting as it follows a slight documentary type feel and can actually make you think. I also like the fact that after the first girl has her baby the movie was able to show her in pain and regretting having the baby and not loving the child and really struggling being a parent, giving the young girls watching the movie the actual fact that teen pregnancy is not fun and all cute little babies and laughs.

I guess you have to live in or near Gloucester for this movie to be interesting, or have an interest in local politics for at least. All throughout this movie I sat with an empty feeling and sort of not really caring, because the events in the movie seemed stupid and didn't appeal to my interest in any way.The story is about teenagers apparently making a pact for them all to become pregnant and have children about the same time, so their children can grow up together, play together and become best friends, like the teenage girls themselves are. But being teenagers, they are not aware of the consequences and hard work being pregnant and having a child is. And the toll the consequences have on their families and the ripples in society of living in a small community.Some of these teenagers have little respect for themselves or their pregnancy, as they smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. Plus their whole attitude to the situation was just infuriating. And the movie is based on real events, which can only make you think why some people are that ignorant. But, as I started out with saying, this appealed little to me, because I live nowhere near where this allegedly took place.As for the acting in the movie, well, people did adequate jobs, but I can't really say that any particular performance stood out. It was fairly blend and mediocre.I am sure that this movie have appeal for an audience who have an interest in events such as those portrayed in the movie. But for those of us who watch movies for a solely entertainment purpose, then "Pregnancy Pact" offers very little.

What I expected from this LMN movie was a soap opera in which a happy family's daughter turns up unexpectedly pregnant. The scenario then calls for the husband to go ballistic, the teen-aged daughter to be buried under a mountain of contingencies, and the mother -- after overcoming her initial shock -- to straighten things out. It wouldn't have been a surprise if the baby's father had been a psychopath who left her behind to deal dope out West, but then there would have been the shy, studious, not unhandsome class brain who has always loved her from afar. The nerd would replace the delinquent in the daughter's affections and the future would begin to look pretty rosy overall.I'm reluctant to spin out more of this formulaic crap without a paycheck.Instead, although I caught this in only bits and pieces, I have to say it was rather better than that. It's roughly based on a real story of a pact among teen-aged girls in pretty little Gloucester, Massachusetts. All agree to get pregnant early in their teens so they can stay together, buy their babies matching outfits, and live comfortably with the fathers after they graduate.A young woman who makes a living by being a blogger (can you do that?) comes to investigate and finds much of the community complacent and in denial. The school nurse wants to introduce sex education and distribute condoms. Nancy Travis is the mother of a virginal teen and she's against sex education and all that filthy stuff for the same reason some of our legislators and governors oppose it -- it's like giving the kids a license to have sex. Some of us oppose the distribution of condoms in third-world countries where AIDS is rampant for similar reasons. Gee, if you give them condoms, they'll have sex! Nancy Travis bumps up against reality when her daughter becomes pregnant. At that point, the movie begins to examine the genuine difficulties attendant upon teen pregnancies. First, the kids are living in a kind of fantasy world in which a baby is a wind-up toy that loves you no matter what. The reality is that having a dependent child is more like attaching one of those ball and chain devices that we see prisoners wearing in cartoons. Unless, that is, you want to drop out of school and cut off your future, or you happen to have a grandma into whose lap you can conveniently drop your offspring. The movie examines these problems in some detail, and realistically.The photography around Gloucester is well done. I've always liked Cape Anne so I may be prejudiced. The seasoned actors, including Travis and the school nurse, deliver the goods. The girls, for a change, look exactly like ordinary high school sophomores. They're not thirty-year-old gussied-up starlets. They're plain for the most part, just like the girls I went to high school with. Of course, in this case, they're all sleeping eagerly with their boy friends, which MY high school dates never did, the uptight prudes.On the minus side, the musical score belongs to the genre. Much of the acting is poor. The plot has disjunctions. (I still don't know how you make a living as a blogger.) And the direction is watery and pedestrian.These teens aren't stupid, but they're inexperienced and they're missing half the evolutionary problem. I'm an anthropologist and I have slight doubt that they're hard wired to produce babies. But pregnancy represents an extraordinary investment on their part. Each girl is born with all the eggs she's ever going to have, a bit more than 300, and each month presents her with a complicated question about fertilization. The answers she comes up with will affect the rest of her life, and that's what these girls don't understand.The boys have no such problem. Every ejaculation contains millions of sperm cells, any one of them capable of producing a child. They're even ORGANIZED. After fertilization, the left-out sperm from the donor seem to form a barrier against the advance of alien sperm, just in case there was more than one partner, as in a gang bang. A man can afford to be profligate with his sperm. A woman has to choose a mate who will care for her and for the offspring, preferably one who is strong, healthy, powerful, and rich. I'm not being cynical. Those are just the facts of life.Well, anyway, I applaud this production, not because it's a gripping emotional experience but because we seem desperately in need of a little enlightenment along the lines that it provides. After all, it was NOT just the soap opera it might have been.
