i found "fifteen and Pregnant" to be a real moving story, also very true as to what would happen if a young girl was to get pregnant. Kirsten is a fantastic actor, especially in heart moving films like this one. her boyfriend is a drop kick and you can tell from the very beginning that he wont stick around, also the way he has the nerve to show up at the birth with his new girlfriend after just dumping Tina! very unappealing!
but overall this movie will make you laugh, cry and sometimes get mad all at the same time. i put this as one of my most favorite movies yet. Fantastic Film!

I am no fan of Kirsten Dunst. I think she's a terrible actress. And she manages to give what may well be her worst performance yet, as the selfish, immature, stupid Tina.
This movie was a project for my Morality&Ethics class, and after studying it, I have to say it is terrible. I'm not saying that Tina's struggle was fake, but it's people like her that perpetrate this myth of stupid teenagers not knowing or understanding the consequences. And yes, I know that a great many pregnant teenagers face problems like this. I sympathize with them. But Tina's life was a disaster. Ray (the boyfriend) was a self-centered idiot, and if any of my friends found themselves stuck with a guy like that, they'd ditch him. In a heartbeat.
The main problem with this movie is the characters. While they may be based on real people, they do not come across as real. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Everybody is selfish and concerned only with themselves. The only halfway likable character is her father, and the only truly likable character is the dog! What does that say?
I realize that this is a very harsh review, but it's my perception. This is an utter waste. The characters are ally caricatures of the stereotypical "broken" family. Save yourself the annoyance and see a decent pregnant teenager movie - like Sugar & Spice.

I watched this film whilst on holiday in Tenerife last year. I had to stay in and look after my then 18 month old daughter whilst my partner went down the pub with his friend. The film really hit reality for me. I was 17 when i fell pregnant and 18 when i gave birth to my daughter so a little older than Tina Spangler in the film but i could relate to all the emotions, hopes, the gutted feelings, the ups and downs that Kirsten Dunst played so well. When her friends turned against her, it was exactly what happened to me. But i soon found out into motherhood that you grow up quickly, you make new friends and have new prospects but best off all you have somebody to lavish all your love and attention on. I do not regret having my daughter and although i think this film would be fantastic to show to younger people to show them how hard pregnancy and parenthood can be, i don't think it would put teenagers and young mums off becoming a parent full stop. It was good to know that other people can understand and relate to teenage pregnancy and to make a film out of it was perfect.
I first watched this film when i was ten years old and i loved it. i love babies and anything to do with babies. I now do health and social care and i realised what percentage of teenage girls actually get pregnant in a year. where i live in northolt we the second highest teenage pregnancy rate in england. But the main reason i liked this film is because it looks at what teenage mums or mums-to-be go through during or after their pregnancy. Fifteen and Pregnant also involved the good and bad possibilities that can happen and i think it showed any teenage girl who watch this film what to expect and will in the future. I would recommend this film to my friends. And it's one of those films that you watch over and over again. To be honest i watched it two days ago on true movies on sky. I think that more true stories like this should be shown in schools to cut down on pregnancy rates across the world. It may help, it may not, but we can try.
A very good movie for both young guys and girls to watch; especially when they think they are ready for the real world. Lessons learned are not easy and even blessings can come from mistakes. A teen(Kirsten Dunst) and her estranged parents(Park Overall and David Andrews)try to deal with the girl's unplanned pregnancy.
Dunst gives you a peek at a rising star. Overall showed the best talent in her emotional role. Supporting cast includes: Julia Whelan and a very dramatic Marlyn Mason.
