Okay, my first comment is regarding the fact that this movie genre specifically states that it is a comedy. It was not particulary written to be educational, even though there may be some pregnancy facts and info included throughout the film. First and foremost, however, it is going to be humorous. Secondly, to the person that went off about breast-feeding, I have a couple remarks on that. Breast-feeding is the better option when and if it is possible. I am not saying that breast milk will make children smarter, prettier, more atlethic, or anything else. I was not breast fed and I have a bachelors of science and now teach teenagers about pregnancy and parenting myself. My view comes from other issues, such as health and finances. Ear infections are not as common among breast feed children, and financially you can't beat the fact that breast milk is free and available upon demand! Formula costs a fortune and carrying around formula, water, bottles, and finding a way to warm it all isn't always easy! I have both breast feed and bottle feed my children. My first child did not take well to breast feeding, whether it be my nerves and inexperience got the better of me or whatever, and I had to bottle feed. My second did great with the breast, then went to the bottle at about 5 months. And my third was breast feed for about 3 months then I had to alternate breast and bottle when I went back to work. For some women it is just too uncomfortable and that is FINE! Noone should be expected to do something that they feel uneasy about. But there are certain benefits of breast feeding that shouldn't be downplayed just because you know someone that did breast feed and you did not like them or someone else made you feel bad for not breast feeding. Lastly, I will want to go see the movie, if for nothing else but a good laugh. It was actually a few of my students that encouraged me to look up the trailer after seeing it at the theaters. Several of them want me to see about taking them to see it for a field trip when it comes out. I think some people are expecting too much from this movie because of its title. Please be realistic and get the fact that it is just a comedy, not some kind of educational biography that most people would not bother to go see because they would be bored to tears. Oh, and by the way, most kids that get pregnant now don't mean to get pregnant; it really is just about the sex. Teens are going through a self-centered, selfish stage in which they thrive on getting gratification and too many think that they can get that feeling through sex. When it comes to pregnancy they just have that "it won't happen to me" mind set. Then when it does, most of them don't really know what they are in store for, so it isn't really a big deal for them. Anyway, now that I have written my own book I am just going to sign off by saying go see the movie, have fun and laugh, then go home and, if you have children, hug them and tell them they were well worth the physical pain and financial issues that you dealt (or deal) with!
