Critic Reviews
The film is carelessly directed, paced, acted, and scripted, offering today's teenagers, at best, a confused message. Foremost among its endless problems is Avildsen's pathetic direction. Under his uninspired guidance, the actors appear to be performing in filmed rehearsals, guilty of glaring character inconsistencies from one scene to the next. The cliche-ridden story throws in every possible obstacle to the young couple's happiness.

The film is full of carefully balanced moral proclamations, to the point where it begins to resemble an episode of "Nightline." [15 Jan 1988, p.B]
Nice try, spermatozoa. You look forlornly out of place in this make-
believe version of reality, where pregnancy intrudes on those well placed
to cope with it, and moral issues are fudged wherever possible. [15 Jan 1988]
