I thought we had a thread for this movie but I didnt see one. This is a good one. Just watched it yesterday for the first time. They were both good together in it.

I could of sworn I saw a thread for this too waaaaaaay back. Lol.

Anyways, it's been at least 15-20 years since I have seen this. My memory is fuzzy. I do remember liking it, as I saw it on HBO a number of times back in the day. An overlooked film. I need to hunt this one down.

Im glad Im not the only one who thought that

It like disappeared in Fan Forum mystery land along with the other threads

Do you have Netflixs by any chance? I was able to find it on there.

I don't. I'm going to look around a little today though. A local chain store may have it. They usually surprise me with some goodies they have.

Walmart may be the best place lol

I remember that Cousin Catherine from the "Vacation" movies was Molly's mom, and Berta on "Two And A Half Men" was his mom. I think. Lol.

You are probably right. Paula Shore made his first debut on the movie too.

Barrybgb · 11-24-2010, 10:17 AM

I don't even remember him being in it.

I see that this one is available to watch On Demand. I'm debating on watching it. I want to see it, but I know this one I would get on DVD if I saw it. If I watch it now, finding it on DVD soon would be less exciting. Lol. Decisions, decisions....

I want to see it.

I love this movie! I'm not really a fan of teen pregnancy plots on TV shows or movies but this movie left me feeling pretty satisfied. It occasionally airs on channels like Lifetime Movie or WE. But you almost have to keep an eye out of it. It's a rare little gem to air on TV.

Never saw this one?

I don't think I have.

From what little I remember, it's a cute one. I remember how she told her family she was pregnant - at Thanksgiving dinner.

"I'm pregnant!....can someone pass the potatoes?" Lol.
