funny film and all. but,
ok.
it is a family values film. it espouses life lessons such as:
- baby always comes first. first before the woman's happiness, a woman's life, career, or body. you are
- the film may charm you into feeling that even if you really can't stand your spouse/baby daddy/whatever you should to be with them, indefinitely, for your child. for the greater good.
- or hey look man! if you have unprotected sex this is the life you will be forced into! dont do it!
yes there is a crazy mushroom episode, but there are also ultrasounds shots how many times? from eight weeks on, showing the beating heart? ever had a baby? how many people do you know have an ultrasound at eight weeks? that is not standard practice without a medical reason and is just pushing the 'look! it is a baby from the minute of contraception' outlook. then there are the way graphic birth scenes. if that doesnt make an anti (premarital) sex statement what does? really, what chick isn't going to at least double check their pill taking after this movie?
basic lesson of the movie- you act stupid and do things deemed 'evil' or 'wrong', such as drinking to excess and making a baby with someone you hardly know and hardly like- then you have to make an honest woman and man out of yourselves. it doesnt matter if this is not in your life plan or in your comfort zone. get married! raise baby! no broken homes!
this is, by definition, a
morality play.
now, with all of this being said... i am not a bible beater or pro abortion. i am support neither of the extremes... i just saw this movie and the underlying intentions were conspicuous to me.
