Mom at Sixteen

this movie was actually pretty interesting. unlike most teen-mom movies, the entire thing takes place AFTER the baby is born. instead of the rebelling teen who ends up pregnant and makes her decision by the end of the movie, this movie starts with a girl whose mom has decided to raise the baby for her. expectedly, it is not quite as fairy-tale as the ends of those other movies assume it to be. danielle panabaker does a great job, you can see how much she wants to be a mom to the baby, yet can't quite handle it. the little sister video tapes everything, which allows the viewers to see the past, thus building up the characters a bit more. i would definitely recommend the movie, and a box of tissues to go with.
