Do you want to know how to make a popular, unpopular movie?  Combine the following components: Great acting, great script, great camera work, and a pro-life message.  If you follow this recipe, you’ll get a popular, unpopular movie.  I would really recommend this movie.  It breaks a few stereotypes.  The main character is “Rico-Mex” (half Puerto Rican, half Mexican).  Their family is not in shambles, but solid.  They are not poor, but upper middle class.  They even have the resources and gumption to adopt a child. 

But even more compelling is the movie’s portrayal of the true-to-life drama of the tragedy of abortion.  What Planned Parenthood doesn’t want you to see is what this movie portrays, the struggles a woman has after an abortion (even though these struggles are only in her imagination).  This movie is definitely time that is not wasted.  In fact, Rotten Tomatoes users gave it a 96% rating in 2007 which is the highest rating for any film released that year.  However, to show you the all-so-often reality of what our culture thinks about abortion, the critics gave it a 46% positive rating.  Just proves the point that it doesn’t matter what people think, the cultural elite will award what they believe is great based not on actual quality, but on personal biases.

Here’s the trailer:
