Good zingers but not as deep as it could have been

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2008)

Ellen Page plays this somewhat tomboyish sixteen year old who gets bored one night with her really passive boyfriend Michael Cera and decides to have sex. Her pretty best girl friend has a thing about seducing teachers (Oh, I just love Woody Allen.) There's new language the two girls speak and it doesn't matter if you don't understand it.
What really matters is the ability of Page being this geeky girl finding out she's pregnant. From time to time she has voice overs but she has no inclination to be the baby's mother. As that is never explored, right off the bat she just wants to have it and give it to some deserving couple she found in the Pennysaver.
She does have supporting parents and her father, T.K. Simmons,takes her to see Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner who seem to be the most perfect couple. I must add her that the scene where Allison Janey and the x-ray technician just doesn't work for me and even comes off as racist.
Except for the scene where students gets out of the way, there's really not much interaction between her and classmates. Characters were introduced but nothing much was done with them.
Instead, Page visits and revisits Bateman who find they have a shared love of music. In fact, he stays at home to do precisely that. Garner is more prim and proper but actually becomes very sympathetic due to her need to become a mother.
The soundtrack is good and keeps the flow going. In fact, the movie ends with Cera and Page singing a cute song and trading off leads.
I just it had more what a sixteen year old pregnant girl would go through. Pretending she's a super hero is not enough.
