Unpregnant

A 17 year old women gets pregnant accidentally and cannot tell anyone she knows. Her family are extremely Christian and her "best friends" are looking for drama in the school. She cannot ask for aid from anyone. She has no one. Then she discovers she cannot get an abortion in the state she lives in. That is reality for women that live in states like Missouri. That is what the film is conveying: these decisions are difficult, they require proper support to come to the best conclusion for the women. She is deprived from this and makes a decision to drive a 1,000 miles. Who would want that for there kid? A lot of reviewers are focusing on a "women getting an abortion is bad" and not thinking about what put her there to make that decision alone.

It was delightful and surprisingly had a couple of plot twists so it wasn't as predictable as what I thought it might be. It also highlights the misfortunes young women are faced when they are not provided with access to healthcare options and education surrounding pregnancy and parenthood. Great film!

Loved Barbie Ferreira in this! Wish the movie was a little more realistic at some points, but overall it was a good time!

Unfortunately, when you have a film centered around a "controversial" topic such as abortion, there's going to be thousands of biased, 1 star ratings that bring the average score down real low. The majority of which from people who didn't even watch the movie. "Unpregnant" is not your average "chick flick." In fact I watched it the first time with my male friend and he really enjoyed it. It's witty, adventurous, and pretty original. In most of these teen adventure/comedies, the humor is too forced, storylines are cliché and not well developed. However, nothing about "Unpregnant" seemed too forced. The humor was casual and enjoyable, it had a great, catchy soundtrack, and character development. Along the way, the girls met many interesting characters and faced various obstacles that were actually unexpected and fun. It was a good mix of silly and serious. None of the scenes dragged out, it had a good pace, and a satisfying ending. So again, don't look at the ratings and listen to these 1 star reviews... if this movie interests you, give it a try. I think it's worth the watch, and it's free on HBO MAX so why not!

I think booksmart is a film that created (or recreated) a new type of college and coming of age movies and this is the second film on this kinds of films. I liked it because in the 2010s the comedies really deteriorated and did not renew anything. Unpregnant and Booksmart are trying to bring some style and insights for the young and the general. I really liked in personally the idea to make it also a road film. It's amazing. Good script, great visuals.
