Is anyone else watching this movie? Of course Lifetime would make a movie about it. These girls are so f-ing stupid!

I think they showed ingenuity.

No but I just read a book with the same theme. I wanted to smack those girls in the head.

Typical Lifetime trash. I can't believe their tagline was (and maybe still is), "Lifetime, television for women". It's more like, "Liftime, television for victims".

Sometimes I don't mind watching that mindless crap though.

Me either, but I could see me throwing things at the tv if I'd bothered with this one.

The book I read ended up all happy assed with everyone supporting the girls and their babies which just made me mad.

Don't get me wrong, I love my share of trashy television movies, too!!

In an age where kids just spend all day online and in front of the TV, I thought it was nice to see a group of friends getting together and forming a club. You don't see that too much anymore.

I feel out of the loop, is the movie based on those girls from Gloucester? I thought that was a hoax.

LOL Jordan, to think in the 90s it was just The Babysitters' Club.

The movie wasn't all "happy assed" at all. It alluded to the fact that at least one of the girls would have to drop out of school to care for her child. Another one of the girls had to watch her boyfriend start a new relationship while she carried their child. Many of the girls and absentee parents who either worked all the time or were drunks so they had no true support system. I didn't feel it was a very happy ending at all. Yes, the last scene showed one of them playing with her daughter and laughing and smiling. But how many of the others were miserable?

Well yeah, this is like a Babysitters Club for the new Millennium. And if you think about it, they can just hire each other so it works out even better this time around.

Except when Claudia forgets to take her insulin and drops her baby.

I still prefer the joking tagline that Family Guy used for Lifetime. "Lifetime Television for Idiots." I think that would make sense considering that anyone to take any enjoyment out of a story like this must be an idiot.

Eris, the book and the movie were two totally different stories. Not related at all.

Stacey was the diabetic one, Jordan. I remember that on account that she was also the glamorous one from New York.

There are some Lifetime movies I have enjoyed in the past. A Girl Like Me and Mom at 16 (Both had Mercedes Ruehl, and I am now wondering if that is interconnected to my enjoyment) more recently but for the most part total trash only good for wasting time.

The movie is LOOSELY based on the Gloucester happening. I understand that none of those involved (or maybe very few) had anything to do with this story. The Gloucester people are PISSED! (it was covered on the news here in Mass. Since they got all their info from news sources, no one is seeing any money from this.

I thought it was so horridly written and acted (with VERY few exceptions). And yet....I couldn't stop watching it. The whole time thinking: could this BE worse??

The novel simply takes the idea OF a preggers pact and is totally fictionalized. I was looking at it at the bookstore last week. I think its told from the female principals p.o.v which is also the parent of one of the girls.

Oh, you're right! (It's been a few years since I picked up the books, so I hope I'm forgiven. lol) :)

I prefer "Lifetime: Men are bad & will hurt you, because this is Lifetime."

I was a tad disappointed with the movie, felt the ending was rushed.

I'm just sorry that Camryn Manheim was in so little of the movie. She was there and then she wasn't. Like more cowbell you can always use more Camryn

I mean, no Lifetime movie will ever top that "CyberSeduction: His Secret Life" (real title!) they put out a couple years ago about the promising 15-year-old genius swimmer with a prudish Catholic girlfriend whose life somehow spirals into complete hell after he discovers...
