This made-for-TV drama, inspired by a true
story, tells the tale of Tina, a 15-year old girl who becomes pregnant after having
sex for the first time. Her beau bails, and Tina’s parents, who had separated,
will have to work together to help their teenage daughter through these
difficult times.
Fifteen & Pregnant has all the ingredients
of an after school special. It deals with controversial issues, like teenage
pregnancy and abortion, in a very cheesy and clichéd way. Everything ends in a
cute little box, with a bow on it. As my wife said, it would be something else
to see the years that followed for these characters. The acting, while not
horrible, was nothing special. Kirsten Dunst had potential, which she would
showcase later.
Fans of this kind of kitsch deal will dig
this one. That was not my case. Some things were cute and made me laugh, so I
will give this movie a bit of props for that.
