Bad things happen sometimes - mxg123
This movie at times made me lol on the floor, and at other times brought sadness in my heart. So this movie is full of emotions, about various things that happen to one’s life. This movie is based on a book of the same title, and from the movie, I can only presume it is somewhat based on a true life story of several young people from the 60’s. It is filmed from an 80’s perspective looking bad in time at what happened from the 60’s onward. Not a bad movie overall.Good Movie With A Sad Story - firefly7
I liked Drew's character in this movie. She portrays a young woman that becomes a mom who is human and makes mistakes just like everyone else. She meets a guy and falls for him even if he isn't right for her. They could be so great together. You can tell he really loves her but like a lot of young guys he is immature and irresponsible. They have a child together and there are some really beautiful moments in this movie. Some funny moments too.
Through choices and circumstances beyond her control she lives through some very sad situations and is never really able to find happiness. What this movie showed me is that you and you alone are responsible for your own happiness.Bad, bad, Drew ?? - flixfan
How can it be? I didn't like her character and actually found the character to be abusive and neglectful at times, with her son. The role of her son, was done in a great way ! - Drew, however, should not do B**chy roles. I was saddened at this movie and actually skipped through some of it.
