ShangLuda Admirable film.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

sweetpea18209 Finally, a realistic TV movie that does not irresponsibly trivialize the serious issue of teen parenting. Jacey is 16 and the mother of a 5-month-old little boy, Charlie. Her bitterly divorced mother is raising Charley as if he was her own, in an attempt to give Jacey her "life back". But Jacey can't stand living a lie. The living situation causes constant tension in the household, and Jacey's younger sister Macey is suffering from being in the middle of all of it. In the meantime, they are all adjusting to living in a new community, and the girls are adjusting to attending a new high school, one where teenagers have sexual relations on school grounds during classes. The promiscuity and casual sex is so overexposed in the school, Jacey finds it hard to concentrate. But the main idea, to this story, in my opinion, is that mothers will do anything for their kids. The relationship between Jacey and her mother is rocky, but remains the centerpiece.Acting is first-rate, especially by Mercedes Rheul as the mom, and Danielle Panabaker, as Jacey. Also very emotional and positive.Never before as a TV movie ever actually brought tears to my eyes. This is an enjoyable movie with a deep message.

ratbird-2 Danielle Panabaker gives an amazing performance as Jacey, an obviously unhappy and depressed high schooler who lives with her younger sister, her over-bearing mother, and a young baby, who's night time cries have a bad effect on her. Her face shows all her emotions. You can see how she is torn between wanting to go to the baby, and angry that her mother isn't. As you see later on in the movie, from her younger sister's home-video's, Jacey, in her hospital bed after giving birth, just can't part with her baby boy. It is the most heart-wrenching scene in the whole movie, and watching her, you can just about feel her raw pain and anguish yourself. It is at this moment that her mother, dead-set against her daughter becoming a teen-age mother and not having a normal life, basically makes a deal with her daughter. A deal that leaves her in the depressed state that she is in. The baby will not be put up for adoption, but will be raised by her mother. As her baby. She is to make all decisions, she will be the one to take care of him, and no one can ever know the truth, ever. Jacey is to go along with her life as if nothing had ever happened. It is painfully obvious right from the start that this deal is just not working out for Jacey. She is suffering emotionally. You see flashbacks and photos of the love she had, and lost, when her mother packed-up Jacey and her sister and moved them when she found out about her daughter's pregnancy to a place where no one would know them. Jane Krakowski's character, the teacher who comes to realize that Jacey's brother is really her baby, seems to bring hope to Jacey. Even though she is dying to have a baby herself, she supports Jacey, directs her to a support group for teen-age mothers, and you see Jacey becoming stronger, even bringing the support group to her school to talk about the consequences of teen-age pregnancy and motherhood, and admitting to her classmates that little Charlie is really her son. When she reconnects with her love, Charlie's father, you really start rooting for her to take back her son, and make her own life and future, however hard it may be. Sadly, watching the video her sister made at the hospital, which makes it look as though she was forced into this arrangement by her mother, has the opposite effect on her. Instead of being angry at how her mother manipulated her, she is reminded of the promise she made....the promise that she would not be his mother. Other people say they saw the ending coming all along, but I was blown away. She ends up giving her baby to the teacher who tried to help her see that she did have a choice, and that she could be a teen-age mother. Great performances from everyone in this movie, but Danielle Panabaker's stands out. Her face alone, so sad and vulnerable, shows the emotions she's feeling all through the movie. She doesn't even need to speak and you just see the range of emotions she's going through. I can't wait to see this amazing young actress in future roles. A wonderful movie. If you cry at sad movies, make sure you have a box of tissues for this one.

nickandalex i love how this movie shows what can happen if you are a teen mother, and if people find out. i think it was heartwarming and some points honestly brought tears to my eyes. Danielle Panabaker gives a great performance in this movie. this movie, to me, is an excellent thing for teens and their parents to watch. even people who aren't teenagers yet may like this movie. this can really show you that having sex as a teen, or even preteen, has it's consequences. all in all, i really like this movie a lot.lifetime is doing a great job by using such hot, young actors/actresses in their movies. i most definitely give this movie two thumbs up and five gold stars.

Natasha Chiong This movie turned out to be one of my top favorite Lifetime movies. The emotion that was carried out in the movie was well done. I liked how they show what happens next once they have given birth because it's not like other movies that shows what's happening from when she finds out she is pregnant till she has the baby and then it just ends leaving the audience in mystery. I must say this film has made me cry so much , i haven't cried like that since "A walk to remember". This movie is definitely worth watching and it shows how teens are acting these days and gives a lesson in life. Danielle who had played Jaycee was an excellent actress and i don't think anyone else could have played such a part, i felt the emotions going through her as if i was with her through out her journey. This is a movie that almost anyone can relate to if you knew someone or were a young mother that had a dilemma.
