Well, for a typical coming-of-age film, the quality of script and acting performances almost decide everything. And for this particular one, both the script and performances are noticeable, just as those from other brilliant coming-of-age films, such as The Edge of Seventeen, The Spectacular Now, Lady Bird, and so on. The casting is the base for the performances, which is also pretty well done. The most distinct feature of this film lies in the slight twist in plot and the novel topic, pregnancy for high school teenagers.
A fine little movie and fun to watch. I don't get all the hate and negative critics. This is for sure no life-changing experience but it got likable characters (Ellen Page is just too adorable), some good humor and a good tempo (the movie felt never stretched or too long to me) and the cast is well chosen, all do a good job. An easy fine pop-corn movie. Nothing more, but nothing less.
this is one pop culture touchstone that has aged super well. i can't believe this came out 10 years ago, because it feels as relevant and funny as it did when it first hit screens in 2007. Diablo Cody's writing mingles perfectly with Jason Reitman's soft handed direction and this remains the high water mark for both creatives. acting is great across the board. if you've been dodging this particular piece of americana, now is the perfect time to give it a watch.
I loved it! This is how all teenage pregnancies should be handled, if I had my say in this world. The parents played their part very well. The young man who got her pregnant played his part very well. The movie was well put together. Good job directors! Watch it and judge for yourself. It's truly a wonderful gem!
