Although not made as a TV movie of the week, it may as well have been. Molly Ringwald plays an industrious teen headed for college who finds herself pregnant and heading toward disaster in this trite morality play. She pouts and cries a lot; she tries to make everything better. She can't. Things get worse, but she just bounces back. To be fair, this does delve into serious issues. Also, it was produced at a time when most teen movies were either lightweight vehicles by John Hughes or gory slasher flicks. It just feels too contrived, and too glossy, to be taken seriously. This sentiment is underscored when Ringwald and her young hubby seem to be making it as a couple, which is hardly the reality of most teen marriages. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Young Love
I thoroughly enjoyed this coming-of-age movie. It dealt with teenage love, sex, marriage, and grown-up responsibilities with compassion, honesty, and humor. I do not think it trivialized teen pregnancy at all, but rather showed both its hardships and the ability to do it right if one tries and has support. I fully recommend it to all ages.
Rating: - The Greatsest Movie Ever
I love the drama between two people that are the same age as me. I am currently going through the same bad time witm my boyfriend. I hope we are able to overcome the fights and money problems like them. It openned my eyes and I just loved this movie.
Rating:  - "So You've Ruined Your Life" was too brutal a title
Molly Ringwald attempted to transfer from teen dramedies to lighter dramas in her last years and projects under John Hughes. Here was one that they attempted to teach others a lesson about teen pregnancy, but it didn't pay off as intended.
Molly plays Darcy, a strait laced high school student who is concerned with her grades and school activities. She is going out with a guy named Stan, who is also a nice, stable guy from a good family and equally as dedicated and strait laced. They ... Read More
Rating:  - Cheesy but great 80s movie!
This movie is one of those great cheesy 80s movies....perfect for a girls night in!
Rating:  - Pleased with this purchase
I purchased this DVD because it was movie from my past that I watched and liked. My older sister got me interested in this movie when I was little and I would watch it then, not knowing or having mixed knowledge of some of the topics in the movie. Watching it now, the things that I was confused about makes sense. I like Molly Ringwald in this movie, and it was a different direction from her Brat Pack movies.
