For Keeps

I had Netflix send me For Keeps, a movie Lorelai had mentioned. I rented it for a few reasons … mostly, it's an 80s movie (featuring Molly Ringwald no less) that I'd never seen. Anyhow, I really enjoyed it. Molly Ringwald and her boyfriend get pregnant in high school and they decide to keep their baby … and so ensues the trials and tribulations of being 17 and married and having a kid! I also find it interesting that the guy's dad is played by the same guy who plays Otto on Malcolm in the middle (sans German accent). I also thought that it was interesting that the kids in it are from Kenosha (I think that's about 2 hours from here) and they're trying to go to school in Madison (though the campus they showed looked nothing like the one downtown). Incidentally, do you have any idea how many movies are set in Wisconsin?? I'd never noticed before I lived here, but there's tons … usually poking fun at WI, but whatever. Anyhow, overall, it was a very enjoyable little movie and I would definitely recommend it … especially to anyone who likes the Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club type movies.
