Baby, There's Gold Inside

Rating: 7/10 (11 February 2008)

This movie has at least one ingredient I enjoy, a wise-cracking lead. Trouble is the lead is a sixteen year old teenager who would have to be precocious and then some to spew out these one-liners. If you are quite happy to suspend your disbelief and not worry that an erudite teenager gets knocked up and is able to take it in her stride thanks to unrealistically supportive parents, trouble-free atmosphere at High School and hooking up in nothing flat with a childless affluent couple falling over themselves to adopt and even shell out big bucks for the privilege (which the honorable teenager declines, natch)then you'll enjoy this.Ellen Page is superb as the eponymous teenager and the support is up to snuff it's just a tad unrealistic.
