This movie annoyed me for two reasons.
The first one is the movie in itself: the script, the acting... it's just not good. The main character is pitiful in more than one way and where drama was supposed to grip me (and let me just say that I am a crier) I just felt awkward about the acting and about the storytelling that wasn't nearly good enough to get me involved.
The second reason is that for the most part of the movie I was angry at its clearly pro-life message. It is erroneous and deceiving. It is demeaning to women in general and it makes an effort to seem forgiving when, in fact, it is blaming and judging women who make the incredibly hard decision to have an abortion.
So, look, if you're pro-choice, don't come within a 500 meter range of this... err... movie. If you're against abortion, I recommend that you order a better movie to support your cause next time. Madonna's "Papa don't preach" is better structured than this. I guess there's also a conclusion there.
Happy movie-watching, everyone!
