Wonderful Time

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2008)

I'm not sure this was the classic that it's been hailed in some quarters. I'm not sure it deserved an Oscar nod. In fact, I'm sure it didn't. But that's not to say that some of its hype wasn't deserved.
This is one of those rare instances where a film actually delivered on the word of mouth. Characters interacted in interesting ways. There were funny lines coming out of their mouths. The actors all did nice jobs with the parts. The film had something to say about teen pregnancy and, more important, life.
It wasn't groundbreaking. And I know teenagers don't talk like this in reality, but for the sake of this movie, who cares? Bottom line: it's a good time.
