Too Young to Be a Dad

This movie is so unusual and so good it actually presents a problem. Since you can only talk about it in superlatives, it'll seem as if you have a political interest in the issue of teen pregnancy. I'm not married, never had kids, am not an activist in this arena on either side of the fence.

I watched it because Paul Dano's performance is mesmerizing...but then so are the performances of everyone in the cast. The script is so true-to-life, it's achingly realistic.

If I could, I'd buy this for a child of either gender who has or is about to reach puberty. More than anything, Too Young to Be a Dad shows the incredibly powerful feelings involved in procreation and how different they are from the incredibly powerful hormones involved in too-youthful premarital sex.

I was 36 when I became a Dad. Today on Father's Day I watched this movie along with my wife and two teenagers (age 14 and 18).

I cried. I hugged my daughter - she is my first born, and it took me back to the night that she was born.

So here's to all dads out there young and old. Happy Father's Day!!!

Watch this with your family.

This is definetely worth seeing. It may not be suitable 4 boys, but it shows what sex can lead 2. ITS about a 15-year old boy who impregnates a girl in his first sexual expierence. It may seem a lil too racy, but he learns from it. This is good cuz most teen pregnancy flicks all have to do w/ the girl and this is original. See it with your mom ! :)

Oh no, another made-for-TV movie about teen pregnancy...where's the remote? That's what I said when I first flipped the channel to Lifetime and "Too Young to be a Dad" was on. But since nothing else was on, I decided to watch it. And I'm glad that I did.

This movie was put a great, new twist on teen pregnancy. After Matt, a 15 year old boy, has sex with Francesca (another 15 year old), he learns that she's pregnant. Usually, films focus on the girl, but this movie chose not to. Instead, it focuses on Matt, the boy, for a change. It's a refreshing new movie about a boy who's "Too Young to be a Dad".

This message was horrible where the parent(s) would be adopting a child. You also portrayed a 15 year old to want to hold on so tight and not know the responsibilities of raising a child, health and the expenses until the baby is 18 years old. WTH? When he is 18 the baby would be 3 years old, then what? It would have been better off with adopted parents to help the "BABY" grow in a healthy environment. Let the young boy grow up, go to college if so desired, and get to where he could later afford to help his child. THE mother requested that she get back to her own life after the baby is born, she was disrespected of her wishes. The message gives children the idea that it is ok not to be responsible and their parents will "rescue" them," You made it so horrible that it was ok for teen pregnancy.
