Just Another Girl on the I.R.T.

This should have been a much better movie. It was made in 1992, and it kind of shows in terms of how it tackled a difficult subject. The topic of teenage pregnancy in a black neighborhood with a girl who has high aspirations, but unfortunately the immaturity of her age and a problematic background makes her dream of becoming a physician perhaps possible but unlikely. Some reviewers thought this movie could've been made by Spike Lee but I think Spike would've done a much better job. He kind of touched on some of these issues in Do the Right Thing, but he chose to make that films focus on racism. The acting in this movie was fair but I think suffered from decisions made by the director and a kind of unfocused script. It's worth watching but keep the expectations low.
