"Unwed Father" stars Brian Austin Green and Nicholle Tom who become unwed parents of a baby boy while still practically babies themselves. Melanie (Tom), the mother, takes off and dumps the baby with Jason (Green), and he finds he has to grow up overnight and take responsibility for another life. And it's not easy. By the time Melanie re-appears, Jason has grown into a devoted father, although he doesn't have a lot of resources.

Green is so appealing in the role, you can't help but root for him, and his affection for the baby is palpable. Though I'm used to loving Nicholle Tom from "The Nanny," I found myself resenting her trying to get into the baby's life after leaving him with his father.

I liked this film because it gave some realism to the fantasy of having a baby that many young girls have - and also showed a father taking responsibility, how difficult it is to raise a child, and the sacrifices that have to be made.

There are wonderful performances from Isabella Hoffmann as Melanie's mother, Ari Meyers as Jason's supportive friend, and Alan Rachins as Jason's dad. A very heartwarming movie that will bring tears to the eyes of the most jaded viewer, and I think it's important for kids to see and realizing that having a baby isn't all Angelina and Brad in an African forest.

OK. Brian "90210" Green does well for himself and carries this above average TV movie. If the topic interests you (and it interested me, although I cannot relate to the unwanted pregnancy storyline), it's a fairly realistic and not particularly predictable storyline.

The characters although they grow a conscience don't suddenly become likable.

I was pleasantly surprised that this film had the substance it did. I'm sure this is due to a good screenplay by Nina Shengold and direction by Michael Switzer. The story of a young man, played wonderfully by Brian Austin Green [who also was part of the production company] who had a baby left on his doorstep by his girl friend, played by Nicholle Tom. Not knowing the first thing about raising babies, Green begins to learn how to not only take care of his son, but begins to fall in love with the child. Then as you would expect the girl friend wants her baby back. What makes this a good film, is the honesty of Green's performance, and the coming of age of both parents. I felt Nicholle Tom was a bit too one level in her portrayal. She could have used a bit more depth in her work. However, she did have a few moments that were quite convincing. For instance, her scene with her friend who took her in and tried to warn her about Green's intentions. If there were to be a villain in this piece, I would say her friend would be it. A very hard hearted performance. I really liked Isabella Hofman in this. Playing the girl's mother, she was quite believable and interesting to watch. All in all, not a bad attempt. I like Green more and more. Having seen him in several good films. I give this charmer an 8+ out of 10. Congratulations, Brian, on your choice and support of this movie.

If you are home on a weekend, very bored and lack the will to move, with absolutely nothing better to do with your life for the next couple of hours you could enjoy making fun of this movie. The acting and script and general movie making of this film isn't actually all that bad, which is why it makes it possible to actually sit through this. This is defitnly a movie they would show in high school health class to teach the dangers of pre-marital sex. Or they could also show it to teach the dangers of very lame music - that 'rock' band Brian Austin Green is in is really terrible, I think thats a much greater threat to society than unwed parents.

The movie "Unwed Father" starring Brian Austin Green and Nicholle Tom was a terrific portrayal of what happens when two people have a baby from a one night stand. Melanie, (Tom) showed that it takes great courage to live with your mistakes and make the sacrifice that she made initially when giving up her child to the birth father, Jason (Green). Brian Green did a terrific job playing the role of a father considering at the beginning of the movie he was a college 'kid' who was willing to give up his paternal rights. I was quite upset with both sets of parents at first; understanding that it is a mother's worst nightmare to have her child relive the events from her life. I thought it was unfortunate that Jason's stepmother was so selfish about her marriage and her beauty sleep that she forced him out using the excuse that her marriage (to Jason's dad) was in jeopardy. This movie showed that people do give up a lot when having an unplanned child but that it doesn't mean having to ruin their lives.
