a_baron Who had the temerity to call this a thriller? There are so many things wrong with this film, or rather with the way the male lead is portrayed. Okay, Chad was a jerk, but a 21 year old who has sex with a 16 year old is not a paedophile, or pedofile in American-English, and rather than pump and dump his catch as a total jerk would have done, he wanted to be part of his son's life. What is so wrong about that? Some monsters are born, others are made, and he had a terrible start in life as it was. Not a whit of sympathy or empathy for this unfortunate dude. Okay, you wouldn't want him in your daughter's life, but if he'd been offered visitation rights or at the very least if they'd given him a hearing, things wouldn't have turned out half so tragic. Cry for the bad man; you made him that way.

robert23-1 For the first time, I agree with the current rating of which I gave a 7 mainly because of the lead actor(Chuck Hittinger) in the role of Chad. I felt despite the poor casting of Jamie Luner & Linda Purl, two of the finest actresses in Hollywood, Hittinger's performance "saved" what otherwise is weak writing and casting, especially Taylor Spreitler. Hittinger, one of the best young actors, as with "Bad Tutor", again was worth watching. His acting skills shine through and was well cast in the role, the type of which he's best suited. I always enjoy watching his movies, most of which tend to be full of suspense and thrilling! He is very capable of "carrying" any movie as a lead!!

nburgos002 Out of Lifetime's "at 17" movies, this is probably the best one or at least one of the best. The girl from Melissa & Joey and the guy from Pretty Little Liars and American Reunion do a good job in this flick. Jamie Luner is also in here and gives a great performance as sort of a maniac, out-of-prison mother. As with all the other movies before that dealt with similar material, this is meant for older teenager and probably their parents, if they can watch it together. If not, the teenage audience this is aimed for should watch it, and I believe they will be pleased. Appropriate subject matter, decent script, entertaining movie for the most part.

edwagreen She just turned 17 and after a brief encounter with a 21 year old, she finds herself pregnant, but certainly not alone.The oddity of this story is that the father of the baby persists that he wants to handle everything. The problems begin when her parents totally reject him and he begins stalking our young lady.His real mother, a convicted felon, adds plenty to the story with those evil eyes that she possesses. She is very scary and intimidating. However, she does know the score. A sidebar to this story is that when she went to prison, the woman whose house she cleaned, a councilwoman who went on to divorce, adopted the young boy as her own.It just shows you the heredity factor here in that the young man is so emotionally unbalanced to say the least.
