Summary: For Keeps
Review: Emotionally Gripping! I loved this movie of a pregnant teenager and the choices that life brings. This movie was a rare movie that had me holding my breath and hearing my own heart beat all the way until the end. The characters are real and very intense at times. I loved many parts of this movie and would recommend it to any mature adult/teenager. This movie was a great find for me and it makes you laugh, cry, smile and find new emotions of awe. Have fun with this movie and jump into a the romantic ups and downs of Darcy and Stan.

Summary: FOR KEEPS? Is For Nobody.
Review: First of all, Grammys are for works of MUSIC, not cinema. However, were they for honoring the works of cinematic treasures, FOR KEEPS?, indeed, would be least worthy of any nods. Molly Ringwald's role choices began to get sketchier after the 1986 release of PRETTY IN PINK. The 1987 romantic comedy THE PICK-UP ARTIST, featuring Robert Downey, Jr., was an underrated delight, while the 1988 U.S. release of Jean-Luc Godard's avant-garde KING LEAR, in which she portrayed "Cordelia," demonstrated her gift for more mature roles. Released January 1988, before KING LEAR, FOR KEEPS? is a lifeless "dramedy" chronicling the trials and tribulations of a high school couple who give birth to an illegitimate child. "Darcy" (Molly Ringwald) is an ambitious honor-roll student with aspirations in journalism, while "Stan" (Randall Batinkoff, never seen or heard from again) is her shoe-selling beau whose dream is to walk the halls of CalTech. Like most pictures that probe teenage sexuality and unplanned pregnancy, the film portrays the child as the mistake, not the decision its characters have made to engage in sex before marriage. Such treatment is often labeled "realistic," since we know teenagers often partake in premarital sex, as do most adults, for that matter. Just because it is "realistic" doesn't make it morally or socially responsible. However, the issue of morality is never debated here, since the filmmakers have chosen portray the decision these CHILDREN have made to keep their baby, in a positive light. Indeed, any mother who decides to raise her child and give it the gift of life is an honorable person. However, when she has agreed to commit to that child before she has committed to its father, she is making a mistake that will leave a negative impact upon her, her child and its father. When "Stan" suggests the idea of "giving it up for abortion...adoption," he makes a despicable Freudian slip. As a pro-life activist and a human being, this odious line is so completely offensive, especially since it's played for laughs. The ridiculous idea that "Darcy" may earn her diploma by completing night school courses is not only entirely unfounded, it is totally ridiculous. Night school courses are either general education classes for dropouts or enrichment courses for people who have already graduated. An honor-roll student working for the school paper would be undertaking a challenging courseload, not basic mathematics, home economics or remedial English. Not surprisingly, FOR KEEPS? met with minimal box-office success. I hesitate to say this because I so love her, but, the train wreck that is this worthless picture is totally undeserving of the fine talents of Miss Molly Ringwald.

Summary: Teen Struggle & Love
Review: For Keeps where shall I start. For Keeps is one of those 80's movies that would fit perfect on The Lifetime Network. Molly Ringwald stars as Darci Elliot and Randall Batinkoff stars as Stan Bobrutz (intentional hard to spell and pronoucne name, it is the butt of several jokes in the film). The two high school sweethearts are sent fast forward into adult hood when Darci becomes pregnant. They struggle to stay together. I think this film is great because it shows young people just how hard things can be when you introduce a baby into the picture. It is not one of those happily ever after stories, Stan and Darci go through some real hard times. The movie itself takes a real awkward turn towards the end with Darci pushing Stan to pursue his dreams without his knowledge, but the movie will entertain those in 6th grade and up. Its a bit pricey but it is good for educational use and for the 80's fan building their collection.

Review: I LOVE this movie and I was so worried it would never get to DVD since not many people have even heard of it. Its one of those movies that you can watch in your PJ's over and over. I just think of it as a comfort movie, I'm sure plenty of people would think thats crazy but I really like it =o)

Summary: Great movie
Review: I love this movie. It's a romantic story about a girl that gets pregnant. Her and her high school sweetheart get married. It doesn't work out and they break up. The man is not about to give up. He goes after her and dispite what her mother says, she falls in love with him again. Any girl would wish that they had a man like him. I would recomend it to anyone.
