October Baby (2011)
1/10
I'm Sorry -
31 March 2012
I love Jesus. I hate abortion. I'm strongly in favor of a new breed of entertainment that is counter-cultural and God honoring. Unfortunately - this film falls far short of what film should be. The script is sophomoric and hopelessly inconsistent. Odd how this supposedly suicidal girl who claims her whole life has been a lie never forgets to put on her lipstick. Or strange dialogue like: (paraphrased)

Hanna: "I've just found out I was adopted, and my mother tried to abort me."

Police Officer: I know just how you feel, my wife's about to have our fifth child."

Huh?

The characters are flat and predictable. The cinematography is cliché and odd. Extreme close ups abound, for no reason. I also have a personal three "crying scene" rule for a lead actor. This lead has six. That's a lot of crying.

I'm sorry to say all this, but let's be honest. This film was more like a sophomore class school project shot on RED cameras than a professionally made movie.
