I guess you have to live in or near Gloucester for this movie to be interesting, or have an interest in local politics for at least. All throughout this movie I sat with an empty feeling and sort of not really caring, because the events in the movie seemed stupid and didn't appeal to my interest in any way.
The story is about teenagers apparently making a pact for them all to become pregnant and have children about the same time, so their children can grow up together, play together and become best friends, like the teenage girls themselves are. But being teenagers, they are not aware of the consequences and hard work being pregnant and having a child is. And the toll the consequences have on their families and the ripples in society of living in a small community.
Some of these teenagers have little respect for themselves or their pregnancy, as they smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. Plus their whole attitude to the situation was just infuriating. And the movie is based on real events, which can only make you think why some people are that ignorant. But, as I started out with saying, this appealed little to me, because I live nowhere near where this allegedly took place.
As for the acting in the movie, well, people did adequate jobs, but I can't really say that any particular performance stood out. It was fairly blend and mediocre.
I am sure that this movie have appeal for an audience who have an interest in events such as those portrayed in the movie. But for those of us who watch movies for a solely entertainment purpose, then "Pregnancy Pact" offers very little.
