Overrated (average movie)

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2008)

This movie isn't bad, but it's not very good either.
I think a lot of people fall for this movie because Ellen Page did such a good job. She single handedly sold this movie, she perfected a character that is very unique and people want to watch, despite it being an unrealistic personality (if there's anyone that acts like that, they are the only one, this movie doesn't represent anyone, certainly not the average pregnant teenager). People fall for her and then overlook all of this movies faults.
The reactions of the characters aren't realistic at all, and in some cases just bizarre. A few character's give off false impressions, whether it's intentional or not, it's silly. The characters also lack chemistry, a couple combinations aren't bad but the awful dialog mixed with these actors did not mesh together.
I heard great things about this and after the first 5 minutes I thought this would be a great movie, but for every good part of the movie there was a bad part right around the corner.
