I refused to see this movie for a number of reasons, but after reading this piece in The Atlantic I've finally figured out what bothers me about it the most: it's not white middle class America's place to make a comedy out of teen pregnancy because it hasn't destroyed their community the way it has the black and Hispanic communities.
If you think I'm wrong, consider this: the preview shows the movie's title character walking down the hallway about to pop, and everyone is staring at her like it's a super big deal that she's pregnant. At Skyline High School in Dallas, they have a daycare center so that teen mothers don't drop out of school.
