Daddy

I saw this movie in my Health class when we were learning about pregnancy. It was funny when the blonde one kept on whining "I want my chips!" I liked it when the dad said "it has fingers!" to the baby. This movie has some stupid characters that make you wanna laugh!

wow... i was forced to watch this in my lifestyles theology class during our section on sexuality. the lesson we all learned from it was if you say no, you become valedictorian but if you don't, you have a kid, who cries all the time, drop out of school, go on welfare, have a boyfriend who really doesn't know if he loves you or not and he eventually ends up working at an ice cream shop and going to night school. lol. just bad but amusing.

I really thought this wasn't that bad. Not a great work of art but Dermot M was the stronger performer by far. Patricia Arquette was overacting much of the time. He was actually playing cello which was very impressive, and his lines were never forced. Besides, he is an incredibly Beautiful Man. Really sexy. Add that to the talent, and most anything he's been in is a lot more tolerable. He always gives his all even if some of the projects he's been involved in didn't quite hit the highest mark.. Not the fault of the actor in most cases. He's unfortunately been in some strange films that just didn't resonate at the box office. Always with A-list actors but just not always a "hit". But he is "worth every penny" of any DVD rented or purchased. See The Wedding Date with Debra Messing - one of his best overall films. WORTH EVERY PENNY! ; ) (if you haven't seen it yet, do, then you'll understand that quote!)

Okay people, give this movie a break! This (TV movie, need I remind you) was filmed in 1987. It's not going to hold up to today's standards for movies, not even television movies! Most of the people writing these comments probably weren't even alive in '87. I was; I was in high school and the movie left an indelible impression on me. I was left not only more informed and slightly frightened about the possibilities of getting pregnant before I was psychologically and financially prepared for it, but also, and just as important, with a crush on Dermot Mulroney that has lasted to this day. Stop trying to make this movie compare to the latest Soderberg. It ain't, it won't and it's never gonna. It represents a particular time in our society. Yes, perhaps if teachers want to truly get across to students in this day an age, they'll show a movie starring Lil Bow Wow, but until he plays a high school daddy who has to quit school to care for his child, 1987's Daddy will have to suffice.

Really quite terrible, with bad acting. With two actors who are now more experienced and are much better than what they were here, this movie is about the pressure of a relationship troubled by a baby while the couple is still in high school. Handled quite well, but ultimately is quite annoying and stupid. Thank goodness Patricia Arquette changed her look since this movie!
