Let's Keep This Real

"It is said that present is pregnant with the future" 

What do you get when you take the plot line of "Secret Life of the American Teenager" and throw in the actress Molly Ringwald?

For Keeps is a 1988 movie about a High School senior named Darcy Elliot who gets pregnant with her long term boyfriend Stan's baby. Both of their parents go nuts and the 2 of them wind up running off together. They buy a condo, he gets a job, they get married, and everything turns out fine! (Not so much.) Everything goes downhill after she has the baby. 

I liked this movie because it was realistic to how teen pregnancies tend to go these days. The couple gets married, they live by themselves, and everything goes fine...until the baby comes and they run out of money. If you're looking for a heartwarming yet realistic drama, this is definitely worth watching! It has a good amount of humor, yet it says realistic to how a pregnancy might actually go. 

OFFICIAL RATING: Check this movie out! (Teens. Pregnancy sucks if you don't have money.)

Enjoy,
