The end of another season has brought more than the usual change in temperature to the residents of a city. As they go through some tragic events, the residents, and especially a group of medical students, must reevaluate their lives and face new questions.
gotta see this!!!!!!!

I loved this film. I have no complaints about it.
Best comic writing I've seen in a long time, great performances, and made me feel all fuzzy too.

I saw this yesterday. Had lots of laughs, but I agree that there was some weird conservatism and riding on gender stereotypes here, more so than in 40 Year Old Virgin. If you look at the main story, it's about two people who get pregnant by accident, then the woman decides to have the baby despite having all the reasons not to, then they decide to try to become a couple despite being totally mismatched, then the guy straightens up, gets a job and stops living like a stoner in order to become a proper father, and in the end they're both happier than they would've been if they hadn't kept the baby. Sounds like a conservative pro-lifer's dream story, doesn't it? Thankfully the actors are good enough and the characters fleshed out well enough that the movie gets past its own shaky premises.
I have to say though, that this movie confirmed again my theory that abortion is a total taboo in mainstream American films. No one ever has an abortion in Hollywood movies, they always decide to have the baby, and in the end are happier because of it. And I do realize that this is a movie about pregnancy, so it'd be pointless

okayish first half but WHAT THE FUCK is with that second half?!
total stunned silence in the cinema for the back 45 minutes. boring too, with characters you can't believe in doing things you can't believe. and it looked like it was shot-for-tv.
the suspicion is that the only reason they have her wearing her *bra* all through the sex scene is so they can market an 'unrated! scenes you didn't see at the cinema' version where she takes it off cause that's where the money is these days.
made me feel like wanting to go to the movies *less*.

how many times can Tuomas be totally wrong on one thread

also Last American Virgin, Citizen Ruth (kinda - she doesn't have an abortion, but she also doesn't "decide to keep the baby"). Fairly positive there's others
