Featured reviews
I think booksmart is a film that created (or recreated) a new type of college and coming of age movies and this is the second film on this kinds of films.
I liked it because in the 2010s the comedies really deteriorated and did not renew anything.
Unpregnant and Booksmart are trying to bring some style and insights for the young and the general.
I really liked in personally the idea to make it also a road film. It's amazing. Good script, great visuals.
Unpregnant is the type of movie I wish existed when I was a teen. Informative, cute, emotional. Please, more real girls exerting control over their bodies and choice in buddy road trip films. The narrative around abortion is riddled with so much fear and shame, this needed to be made.
Loved Barbie Ferreira in this! Wish the movie was a little more realistic at some points, but overall it was a good time!
Unpregnant is not a perfect movie. It's a good movie which has certain problems but at the same time with so many good moments. The viewer will not get bored because it's a lot of fun and the leading duo have a good chemistry and did a great job. I love buddy movies and I love road movies. This movie has done justice to both these genre and so it's a thumps up from me.
A 17 year old women gets pregnant accidentally and cannot tell anyone she knows. Her family are extremely Christian and her "best friends" are looking for drama in the school. She cannot ask for aid from anyone. She has no one. Then she discovers she cannot get an abortion in the state she lives in. That is reality for women that live in states like Missouri.
That is what the film is conveying: these decisions are difficult, they require proper support to come to the best conclusion for the women. She is deprived from this and makes a decision to drive a 1,000 miles. Who would want that for there kid?
A lot of reviewers are focusing on a "women getting an abortion is bad" and not thinking about what put her there to make that decision alone.
Did you know
- TriviaBarbie Ferreira (Bailey) did not know how to drive during the movie, so Haley Lu Richardson (Veronica) spent a lot of time in the car with her stunt double.
- GoofsThe movie asserts that the nearest abortion facility in a state without parental involvement laws is 1,000 miles away. Illinois, right next to Missouri, has no parental involvement laws for underage abortions.
