Lifetime Movies (copied from Livejournal)

while i was out shopping for movies last night at best buy, i saw something that both totally apalled & intrigued me: lifetime movies. i couldn't help staring at it & wondering the horrors that i was sure it contained. (and how could it not with the titles of "mother at sixteen" & "too young to be a dad"?) so while i could appreciate the idea, i feel SO CERTAIN that they dealt with the issue of teen pregnancy in such a bad way.

unfortunately, the only way to prove how bad...or good...they were was to buy the disc & watch it. while i may enjoy watching movies for analyzing (as evidenced by the bad teen movies i watched too much of last year), i am not willing to spend $15 on a gamble. my limit is $10 for movies that i'm not going to watch for any real reason other than to write about.

i'm sure that there are other (bad) movies on teen pregnancy that i can actually rent at blockbuster. i'd prefer cheap rental to too expensive of a commitment.
