Jailbait

this movie was based on something that happened in my hometown of wisconsin. except, there was no cheating. they were dating for like two years and the girl's mother brought the issue to the police after her daughter had consensual sex with her boyfriend and got pregnant. The girlfriend wanted nothing to do her boyfriend in court and wanted everything to be over.

i guess it was really sad for the couple. i don't know if they're still together.

also, i don't think that the prosecutor was up for mayor. i think she was just going for the same position she had.

Even though the movie was terrible and presented just about every stereotype imaginable, it did raise some good points. For instance, if someone in the movie had actually used protection the whole plot line would never have happened. And that did would have saved everyone from 80+ minutes of bad acting, and a one-dimensional look on life.

Jailbait was a decent TV movie, but it could have been better. Filled with cliche characters, such as the prude girlfriend, stud football star, slimebag lawyer and bible toting mother, they don't blend together well. The movie is told from the point of view of the protagonists girlfriend, but since she is not an integral part of the plot I found it annoying. If approached more seriously, this could have been a good movie.

Adam Fisher is a senior and the king of Gatlin High. With his girlfriend Amber saving herself, he has sex with 15 year old sophomore Gynger and knocks her up. Adam is arrested for statutory rape. After her white trash mother gets arrested, she moves in with the Fishers to pretend to be a couple. Assistant D.A. Lydia Stone (Mo Gaffney) uses his case to raise her profile in her run for mayor.

Allan Moyle directed a couple of my favorites from Pump Up the Volume to New Waterford Girl. There is a definite decline in the quality of his work and his production budget. It's like he had a handle on 90's teen angst but once the decade ended, he lost his way. He's trying for social satire but it only works intermittently. The visual is an ugly low budget affair. The two teen leads are airheads with limited comedic skills. The guy actually fits the dumb role but it gets annoying. The girl is an empty blonde mean girl. I only really like the selfish angry Amber for the laughs. It's hard to like anybody else.

Watching this movie makes one realize just what can go wrong when you do a 'naughty' thing. As a comedy, it cracked me up. On the serious end, it made me understand the dangers that 'not waiting' can cause. Definitely a movie to watch!
