Why this film was not highly rated. It had some good quality's going for it but that was shadowed by the fact that it was way too long! I could not quite tell if this was a Christian movie or not because it would preach one sec and then contradicts the next. IF and I mean a BIG if, this could really happen I see Kelly as being the greatest man on earth for doing this. Yet no one in the movie felt the same until the end? Wow, I could not get over how ppl treated him like crap especially his so called g/f and he still wanted them around. This made the story stupid and unreal! Maybe if at the end he decided to say f all of you and take the bby's to another town I would have loved this story much more. Actors gave enough for me to half like this movie but that was it. I do not recommend this movie if you have something better to watch.

Same idea as in old movie seitenstechen with Mike Krüger,which is much better.

Watched this tonight and wasn't expecting much from reading the synopsis but just wanted a fun movie to kill a night. I ended up really liking it. The idea is pretty original and handled in an interesting way. Watching Kelly and what he went through as far as being embarrassed and even shunned, and all the physical changes he went through really drives home what young girls go through when pregnant. Somehow seeing it from the guys point of view gives more sympathy for the girls. I think we just take things for granted when a girl is pregnant but watching a guy lose friends, have his peers whisper about him, start sucking at things he loves like baseball, it brings home the realities.

A lot of these actors are not well known yet even saw some that it was their first role (at least first listed on IMDb) and I thought they all did fine The kid who plays Kelly has a really expressive face and does emotion well, I expect we'll see him in more. And Ditto, he'll be playing the stoner guy in everything soon no doubt. I was also impressed by the little brother, his acting was very natural which is sometime tough for young kids. The Nurses character was hilarious and she played it well. No one was bad, that in itself is a pretty good feat for any movie! Production value was good, sound and lighting on point, music fit well. All in all comes across as a larger budget film then what it's listed on IMDb.

Oh and Busey....... Random ....... loved it! The only thing that bugged me (and its no big deal really) and is why I didn't give a 9 or 10 was I couldn't figure out if this was one of those Christian production movies or something. A few things like when Kelly's dad is talking to him really came across that way but then the whole topic of the movie doesn't seem like it would be. I really don't care either way, I'll watch either kind of movie as long as it's good. It just kind of bugged me.
