Pregnancy Pact

Yup this is a Lifetime movie. So its kinda cheesy but as usual it also sucks you in. I do remember this story in the news. Crazy, naïve teenagers all getting themselves pregnant at the same time because of a pact to stick together.

I enjoyed Thora Birch as Sidney Bloom, the internet blogger who travels back to her old high school in Gloucester, Massachusetts to investigate the sudden rash of teen pregnancies. The teens give an accurate performance of angst and bad decisions and we also follow a school nurse (Camryn Manheim) who fights with administration.

The townsfolk (and highlighted teen's Mum) were so ignorant in their thinking, raising money for more daycare at the school but refusing to offer a condom machine or even consider giving out contraception to students! 03.13
