You know how you see something that looks like it would be totally awesome and you get all psyched up and when you actually get it, it totally does no live up to your expectations and just completely sucks ass?

Well, this movie was not like that at all. This was a good movie. The making fun of the dude with the beard was the best though.

I sum it up as: decent movie but no repeat value.

BTW, a movie I saw two nights ago (also about unwanted pregnancy): Waitress (2007)
It's a drama/comedy - I'd guess most ATers wouldn't like this sort of film but I think that's a good thing in your case. ;)
FWIW, I liked the movie enough to mention it - sort of reminded me of Jennifer Aniston's The Good Girl.

I'd give it better that "decent". I liked it, but would agree that I don't really have any interest in seeing it again.

It's called the Pontifex Review, not the theprodigalrebel Review. I hate your review.

I give Pontifex's movie review 3.5 stars. Although the twist ending was refreshing, I found the reasoning of why the movie didn't suck a bit lacking.

Don't get me wrong... I like the review! I can't wait to read another one and review it harshly as well :)

so i can expect you to basically give me bad reviews all the time because you don't like me, just like i don't like anything?

you'll have ot wait for the DVD release. I'm already thinking its going to be retarded as hell based on previews, so I'll be surprised if i like it. sounds too much like Talladega Nights which was completely retarded and unfunny.

I liked the movie, but the beard jokes were pretty lame and repetitive, an obvious plot device to give a visual aid of the passing of time and progression of the pregnancy.
