Jailbait

Even though the movie was terrible and presented just about every stereotype imaginable, it did raise some good points. For instance, if someone in the movie had actually used protection the whole plot line would never have happened. And that did would have saved everyone from 80+ minutes of bad acting, and a one-dimensional look on life.

Adam Fisher is a senior and the king of Gatlin High. With his girlfriend Amber saving herself, he has sex with 15 year old sophomore Gynger and knocks her up. Adam is arrested for statutory rape. After her white trash mother gets arrested, she moves in with the Fishers to pretend to be a couple. Assistant D.A. Lydia Stone (Mo Gaffney) uses his case to raise her profile in her run for mayor.

Allan Moyle directed a couple of my favorites from Pump Up the Volume to New Waterford Girl. There is a definite decline in the quality of his work and his production budget. It's like he had a handle on 90's teen angst but once the decade ended, he lost his way. He's trying for social satire but it only works intermittently. The visual is an ugly low budget affair. The two teen leads are airheads with limited comedic skills. The guy actually fits the dumb role but it gets annoying. The girl is an empty blonde mean girl. I only really like the selfish angry Amber for the laughs. It's hard to like anybody else.

The movie was okay, at least for an MTV made for television jobber. The story was a little cliche and there were some bad moments, but overall it was good enough. The acting in many cases though, was actually well done. All of the teens were very believable (as they should be) and the grownups were equally well played. The movie also had it's funny moments. Not much can be said for the cinematography or direction, they were pretty standard fare, but on the whole they were satisfactory. Overall, a good movie, could have been better, but for MTV it was good.

This movie is actually based off of my mother Stephanie Damiana and my brothers father Kevin Gilson its weird because nothing in this movie is the same at all on what happened in real life but overall it was a great movie.My mother was pregnant with twins when my grandma found out she pushed her down the stairs and she lost one twin but she still has a kid and no they have not been together for over 11 years now they did have a boy his name is Christopher gilson aka.(my brother

Watching this movie makes one realize just what can go wrong when you do a 'naughty' thing. As a comedy, it cracked me up. On the serious end, it made me understand the dangers that 'not waiting' can cause. Definitely a movie to watch!
