Don't listen to the negative reviews

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The acting is stiff and unrealistic. As a 16 year old I can tell you not all we care about and talk about is sex. And just because you want ro abstain doesnt mean you have to be pushy and obnoxious. And what parents are apart of all the rumors and drama that goes around the high school. And what parent wants their kid to marry a girl at 15 just because of a baby thats not even his. wtf. This show is stupid and the majority of the characters are flat, one- sided and annoying. Watch this show if you want to be entertained at how bad it is

I have been watching the show since Season 1, Episode 1, and I just realized about 10 episodes no probably more than that, that Molly Ringwald is in this made for t.v. show about how raising a teenager the best that you can. And it has emotion, and a lot of WOWS but overall I think their are a few up and coming actors or actresses and Molly Ringwald how cool to see her acting again. In my opinion there is some good acting going on.

This is by no accounts a good show. The acting is bad, the characters barely tolerable, the plot line is repetitive, cliché, and at times just plain terrible. The only reason I gave this show 3 stars instead of 1 is because I have watched so many episodes despite the obvious and immediate flaws. Not sure if that says more about me than the quality of the show though...In any event, the things that are wrong with the show that I listed about pale in comparison to the real reason that I hate this show. When you first start watching, you see that the main character's (Amy's) mother and father have dark brown eyes while Amy and her sister both have light eyes. Okay, you may think to yourself after drawing a quick pundit square, this is somewhat unlikely but there could be a 50% chance of the offspring having light eyes when the parents have dark.However, as the show progresses, and you are introduced to the character of Adrian and her parents, you realize that her parents have bright blue eyes, while she has dark brown eyes. After drawing this pundit square, you may become angry, enraged even. The chance of the offspring having brown eyes is 0%. This is what got my goat.Finally, I am not sure why the writers of this show feel so compelled to make all plot lines revolve around sex and pregnancy. Every single episode, the words "sex" and "pregnant" are said in such great abundance, the words begin to lose all meaning--viewing of the entire series is sure to leave the viewer in a mental hospital, screaming the words "sex" and "pregnancy" over and over again, praying for a lobotomy so that they can finally forget these terribly overused words....

You can clearly tell the intentions of the writers and creator within the first few episodes: abortions are the devils work & adopting out a baby is also never an option in teen pregnancy. This show really makes me sad to think that young girls are watching this and thinking if you get pregnant as a teen, you MUST keep the baby or everyone (including God) will hate you. Aside from that, Amy is probably the most annoying bitch of a character and I think all the viewers are rooting against her at this point. She is always either angry or sad, never have I seen a happy or excited emotion from her. She treats her parents like dirt and treats Ben like a doormat. Then she bitches about having to watch HER baby because she wants to go out and do stuff with her friends. WORST CHARACTER EVER. The only thing that I enjoy is Amy's dad George, his random comments and actions are actually quite funny and bring the rest of this horrible show up for the couple minutes he's in an episode. I also enjoy Ricky and Adrian, they seem like the only level headed people on the show.
