Although not made as a TV movie of the week, it may as well have been. Molly Ringwald plays an industrious teen headed for college who finds herself pregnant and heading toward disaster in this trite morality play. She pouts and cries a lot; she tries to make everything better. She can't. Things get worse, but she just bounces back. To be fair, this does delve into serious issues. Also, it was produced at a time when most teen movies were either lightweight vehicles by John Hughes or gory slasher flicks. It just feels too contrived, and too glossy, to be taken seriously. This sentiment is underscored when Ringwald and her young hubby seem to be making it as a couple, which is hardly the reality of most teen marriages. --Rochelle O'Gorman

I had never seen this Molly Ringwald movie but I am a fan of her work. I liked this movie just as much as her other movies. It dealt with a serious issue(teen pregnancy) but in a responsible way. I wish that I had seen it as a 15 year old so that maybe I would not have gotten myself into the same situation the Molly Ringwald character was in in the movie. I will definitely be showing this movie to my now teenage children.

I love this movie! Two Teens who live next door suddenly discover the girl is pregnant. It is very well acted and shows some of the trials of thinking marriage is a fairy tale.
