Do they think we're idiots?

Rating: 4/10 (15 February 2016)

It's very hard to review this film without giving away the conclusion, but I will try. I started feeling uneasy about half an hour into the film, and my unease grew and grew as it progressed. The film makers did a very clever job of making the film 'cute', appealing, sweet and sugary in order to distract the viewer from realising what a huge con job the whole thing was. Are we seriously expected to believe that the problem of a teenage pregnancy can be resolved in this nonsensical 'happy ever after' way without permanently traumatising and devastating the teenage girl involved? Are they trying to make us believe that life can go back to normal as if nothing has happened? I was so angry by the time the film ended that it was all I could do not to storm out of the cinema in protest. I don't understand how anybody could fall for this incredibly manipulative and completely unbelievable portrayal of a seriously life-changing event. Teresa, Melbourne, Australia
