I can't understand how this excellent teen romance received such a low rating...the story may be a bit dated, but considering the teen pregnancy rate in the US, it is still very topical. But more than this, the acting all around in excellent...Molly Ringwald's best effort. A high school student get pregnant, her boyfriend marries her, they struggle to get through school and into college, with obstacles such as an obstructive mother-in law to hurdle. Eventually the trials just about get the best of them, but love triumphs in the end.
There's a lot of honest emotion in this film, very realistic as is the 1960s setting.
