A nice surprise

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2008)

This is the kind of movie nice girls have strong problems getting their rough boyfriends to. But even they will find it was worth it. A charming comedy with this brilliant Ellen Page as the main character.
You maybe don't expect much from a movie about a 16 year old pregnant girl. Especially not since this is not supposed to be a drama. But it is in a trustworthy way. This working class girl is going to have her child adopted by the yuppie couple. But still, she's the strongest of them, making life change in more ways than just having this baby.
This comedy is not only charming, it's also intelligent. Screwball hasn't died in Hollywood and here's the proof.
