Absolutely amazing.. What else can i say? I'm a 22 Year old male, and i do have a daughter of my own, this movie was great, from the start i was glued to the screen and i was still there at the end, and i didn't even move to grab a drink, or go the loo.
I found this movie very emotional, and near the end i was almost in tears, and had a lump in my throat.. i'm not ashamed to admit that.
What Jacey did was amazing and was a very tough decision for her, and i feel i can relate to how she felt, as i have been in this situation myself. I will certainly buy the DVD for this once its out.
10/10. Well done.

i love how this movie shows what can happen if you are a teen mother, and if people find out. i think it was heartwarming and some points honestly brought tears to my eyes. Danielle Panabaker gives a great performance in this movie. this movie, to me, is an excellent thing for teens and their parents to watch. even people who aren't teenagers yet may like this movie. this can really show you that having sex as a teen, or even preteen, has it's consequences. all in all, i really like this movie a lot.lifetime is doing a great job by using such hot, young actors/actresses in their movies. i most definitely give this movie two thumbs up and five gold stars.
This movie was awesome, and not just "awesome for a Lifetime movie", I would buy this DVD. They did a wonderful job and I was really pleased to see Danielle again since I remembered her from Sex and the Single Mom and a Disney channel movie.
I've been waiting for a new young mom movie since "Fifteen and Pregnant" with Kirsten Dunst was getting pretty old. Mom at Sixteen took a completely different path though. I don't know if they were aiming to make the viewer care more about Jacey than the baby, but I sure did! In most movies involving babies (since I have one myself) I find myself wondering what will happen to the baby, etc. Not this movie though, I was too focused on Danielle's character and what she was going to decide.
I honestly didn't care very much for Jane's character though, or Mercedes'! Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find anything extremely likable about them.
Bottom line, this is a great movie! All the good Lifetime movies seem to JUST be ending when I find out they're on, so now I use my TV search and program my TV so I don't miss it, I suggest you do the same!

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.
This movie turned out to be one of my top favorite Lifetime movies. The emotion that was carried out in the movie was well done. I liked how they show what happens next once they have given birth because it's not like other movies that shows what's happening from when she finds out she is pregnant till she has the baby and then it just ends leaving the audience in mystery. I must say this film has made me cry so much , i haven't cried like that since "A walk to remember". This movie is definitely worth watching and it shows how teens are acting these days and gives a lesson in life. Danielle who had played Jaycee was an excellent actress and i don't think anyone else could have played such a part, i felt the emotions going through her as if i was with her through out her journey. This is a movie that almost anyone can relate to if you knew someone or were a young mother that had a dilemma.

- TriviaTo keep the film as realistic and current and possible, most of the discussions in the health-class discussion scenes were improvised by the actors. Jane Krakowski would simply name a topic and the young actors would answer honestly.
- GoofsWhen Jacey is playing the DVD that Macy gave her, it says "For Charlie" on the DVD, but in the opening scene of the video it says "For Charley." The movie credits say that the baby's name is spelled Charley, meaning the name on the DVD is spelled wrong.
- Quotes
Macy: And now you're the screw-up and I'm the good kid. I'm the one who they can point to and say "This is our good child. She only gets B's and C's, but she's the one who didn't get pregnant".
Jacey Jeffries: Shut up!
