A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This movie has gotten a bad wrap in the reviews on this site.The simple fact is the movie is NOT meant to be taken seriously. It's a teen comedy and a made for TV one at that.Watch it. Laugh. . . even at the dumb jokes. It's not Shakespare, for Pete's sake!Yes it crosses a few boundaries (nudity, teen sex, casual sex, statutory rape, etc.) but that's part of what's so funny about it. It does not glorify teen sex. To turn a phrase from another teen movie: "GET OVER IT!"

"Jailbait," though full of bad acting and cheap lines, is fresh and funny because it's so full of taboos. First of all, it's obvious most (if not all) of the actors are Canadian due to their accents, but this doesn't really matter (it just takes away realism if the film's set in the US). Secondly, here we have a 15 year old girl who is sexually aggressive and manipulative. She's portrayed as a vixenous, trashy sex object, battling with an unattractive, whiny virgin over a cute but dumb guy. The underage sex, pregnancy-taken-lightly, and manipulation of the legal system are all "iffy" issues, but they also make for great comedy. The best character in "Jailbait" is the attorney Chuck Clopperman, who embodies every cheesy lawyer cliché in the book. The scenes with him are great (for example, when a "Chuck Clopperman Parking" sign falls down to reveal a handicapped parking sign). I definitely recommend seeing "Jailbait" if you didn't catch one of the 3,000 viewings on MTV when it came out.

I watched this movie only because it is based on a real life story. It is a comedic look at the story of Kevin Gilson from Port Washington, Wisconsin. I know this guy from years before and was curious how they would play it out. While the truth is no laughing matter this movie sure is. I love the fantasy scenes and of course the goofy sex scenes. It's a thumbs up as it is campy and just plain funny. It's a bit raunchy and very "John Waters-esque"

I can't believe people compare this dreck to ELECTION. Not even close.Music was good and yes the cast is attractive but that is all for this piece of s#@!. If you want a much better treatment of pregnancy and a satire of the subject -- go watch CITIZEN RUTH instead.
