Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

zobigail77 The characters are unbelievable, shallow, and vapid. The word "sex" is used roughly ten million times per episode, and there is nothing that even hints at realism. I watched through the second season in the hopes that the show would redeem itself. I hoped that at least one of the characters would do or say anything believable, but alas. No such luck.Teenagers don't talk about sex frankly. They just don't. They don't discuss masturbation. They don't hold condoms up in the air like sparklers. I'm not saying that people aren't dysfunctional, but the dysfunction is not center stage. People don't act like this, and this entire show is incredibly stupid. I stuck it out through halfway through the second season on Netflix. I'm late to the game, but I figured I'd give it a shot. It sucks. It's terrible. I mean, I thought other shows were terrible, but this really is the terrible cherry on top of the most terrible show ever to have been made. I have no idea how it made it through more than half a season. Hey, Brenda whatever your name is...can I get these hours back? I guess I'm kind of silly for not just giving up after the unbelievable teenagers uttered the word "sex" no less than a million times in the first few episodes, but I wanted to make sure that my hatred of this vapid idiocy was well-deserved. And it is. Don't bother. It's so stupid. So stupid. Worst show ever.
fonzi-16007 I have finally seen the most annoying character ever to have been on film, Ben Boykewich , and just when this annoyance went on the whole time another character, Ethan, show up to bolster the show with the same stupid things.As this wasn't enough the show starts up with the gay push which goes over the top in extending the gay agenda, with the stupid lines of, "not there is anything thing wrong with being gay". It's amazing that the gay community is so comfortable with having there lifestyle constantly put out as a normal showcase for the world to have pushed down their throats.This could have been something to watch if nothing else was on if the character annoyances and agendas were left out.
jayantinnc Watching season 1, the most sickening thing was seeing Amy being judged and bullied into keeping the baby when she was making the right choice of finding a good family for him. Especially sickened by her sister's judgmental ranting - her words could practically have come from the mouth of an old-world grandma, not a kid. A prop used by writers to bung in some old-fashioned judgment at the teen mom. Where are the adults and why don't they speak up and explain that Amy is making the right choice? When Amy says - with perfect sense - that she cant be a good mom at 15 the stupid kid simply says "What if you could be" Really? How would that happen and in what universe. And what does she know about it? In a society where adults are having a tough time raising kids why would anyone insist that a kid take on this responsibility. Then she goes on to describe how Amy can do it and still get educated etc. But why should she have to when there's a better option? OK she made a mistake but she's a kid. Forcing an unwanted responsibility on someone who's not ready - in what way is this good for the baby? "Why do you think this is a bad thing" - are you kidding? The worst one was "We could all become better people" - Hey, its your job to provide the baby with a good home, not his job to raise you. The sister - and the writers of this show - are going with emotional reaction, judgement and guilt - NOT with any responsible thought for the baby or the teen mom. Both Amy and the baby deserved a better choice than the bad decision forced on her by guilt. Disgusting.
