| Incredibly entertaining romantic comedy centering on the pregnancy of a 16 year old. Ellen Page jump starts her film career, engaging the audience almost from the start, as the high school student faced with this life changing dilemma. Page steals the show, upstaging actors twice her age. Credit too must go to the director for putting the pieces together so well and prodding such good work from the young Page. Don’t be surprised to see an Oscar nomination for Page. | Here’s the brief scenario: High school junior gets pregnant. A tragedy, right? Well, maybe you should have a look at this adorable film and get a clean perspective. This fresh, fun, fast paced film is just right –a mix of high school shenanigans, love issues and family ties – allows the viewer to leave the theater with much to think or re-think. Take someone with you to share the experience; you’ll have lots to talk about on the way home. And one more thing – the star of the show, Ellen Page, has won the “Breakthrough Actress of the Year” award for her performance here. We’ll be talking about her for many years to come.
