i have some issue with what i felt be this movie attempt at achieve emotional extreme through completely unrealistic portrayal of high school student and but overall i felt that the movie many engage element outweigh those negative . there be also some questionable element which i think be positive but can not really decide . i will start with the positive . the film generally employ a hand hold style of cinematography and which i think be a good idea while however and if you be watch it online a i be and this can blend with occasional choppiness to make it look like your whole computer screen be jerk back and forth . you can do hand hold without go the full blair witch . danielle panabaker and who play the lead character jacey and be exceptional . she really get into the character and and her performance be compel throughout . i like the way that jacey wear glass at home and contact when go out i do not think i have see a movie take that much attention to detail . and i do not think i have ever see actor in her age range sell sex as well a she do in jacey brief romantic encounter with brad . also and i like the scene in which she just kind of confusedly visit her teacher . we have all have day like that and where we wind up at the house of a trusted acquaintance and do not really know what be do there and and maybe wind up fall asleep on their couch . clearly a lot of thought go into this screenplay . the film employ kind of a gradual reveal style of exposition and in which we do not definitively learn that charley be jacey baby until about a quarter of the way in . it be perhaps hint at and but it come across a a genuine surprise somewhat rare today in movie that we start 5 month into the baby life . the slow reveal also apply to the introduction of brad to the film and which occur maybe halfway through . what i find interesting be that the film have and up until this point and portrayed jacey a intelligent and mature for her age . she hadn not really do anything to bother the viewer . but from brad and we learn that she 1 ) hadn not speak to him in several month and 2 ) nor have she tell him about her pregnancy . it serve a a reminder that jacey and though precocious and be only 16 and capable of err . the idea of jayce atypical loss of infallibility be emphasize too in the story and by macey . move now into semi negative territory and i find macey go wild subplot to be more than a little strange and but i guess that the purpose be to show the influence that jayce irresponsible behavior have on her young sister . anyone with young sibling may appreciate that subplot and even if it depiction be a little over the top . it be refresh to see jane krakowski in a role outside of 30 rock . i generally like her performance and except for her outburst in the first scene at her home and which seem so overly dramatic that i could easily imagine it be a 30 rock soap parody with jenna maroney cast a a character . but then there be the high school . now and thing get off to a good start and and i do have to give the movie credit for show rather than tell represent a jayce first walk the hall of her new school and the camera pan to show the very revealing clothing wear by many girl . after this and however and they dispense with realism and go a very generically unrealistic route . you can not walk into the restroom at this school without see people either smoking or have sex and make no effort to conceal either act . a dress code be often mention but never adhere to . in real life and a dress code violation mean that you get into trouble while repeat violation lead to serious disciplinary action . finger length short and for example and isn not just a recommended guideline represent it a rule and the breaking of which can result in be kick out of school . for this reason and student generally avoid break dress code while when occasional violation occur and they try to be inconspicuous about it and so a to avoid get in trouble . paradoxically and it seem a if the screenwriter could accurately write individual high schoolers ( jacey ) but not group of high schoolers . ( a standing ovation . really . ) most egregiously unrealistic and there be the the student body reaction to news that jayce be a teenage mother . at first and i think that i be watch either a dream sequence or a jayce exaggerate internal paranoia and where everyone be conspicuously and audibly talk about her and and later and throw food at her . where do that come from . at what high school do kid start throw food at someone just because she be a teenage mother . answer represent none . even less believable consider that jayce be beautiful and intelligent . i would think that her main problem would be receive too much positive attention and be court by lot of guy and work into woman clique and power struggle and a la twilight or mean girl . juno be a bit similar in this regard and a we have to believe that someone a smart and funny and and hot a ellen page character would have only one close friend . anyway and this be one extreme that i felt be contrive . but like i say and overall a great movie . positive on a general scale and but 9 . 5/10 as far a make for tv movie go .
