LABOR PAINS
I’m a big fan of ABC Family original movies–well, some of them. The tweenager movies aren’t so great, but their romantic comedies are usually pretty cute. But I must say, Lindsay Lohan’s newest film wasn’t that great.
I’m surprised that this show was at first considered to go into theaters. It was big news when they announced that it was going to become a TV movie instead. But you know what? It was the right move.
There wasn’t much special about this movie. And there wasn’t that much special about Lindsay Lohan’s character Thea. And by that I mean, she wasn’t that adorable.
Usually, in the ABC Family romantic comedies, the leading lady is instantly adorable and likeable, even when they’re being deceptive (think Melissa Joan Hart in her handful of movies). Lindsay Lohan? It’s not that didn’t like her, but she didn’t really grab me as someone that I particularly liked. She was just…there. In fact, I had no opinion of her at all. I thought it was kinda cute to see her start to accept the pregnancy, but that was about it. Nothing more.
And as a personal pet peeve, the errors in the story bugged me more than anything. First (and I took a quick perusal of the web to make sure I’m right on this), I don’t think there’s a law saying you can’t fire a pregnant woman. There are rules that say you can’t fire a woman for being pregnant, or for taking time off for pregnancy (sick days, doctor’s appointments, maternity leave), or for being unable to do parts of her job because she is pregnant, etc. However, I don’t think that if Thea was being fired because of how bad she did at her job, pregnancy would save her. These two things have nothing in common, and pregnancy has nothing to do with the decision to let her go.
Also, as someone who’s quite familiar with the publishing industry, the setting of her job was quite erroneous. If you’re interested in my take, just leave a comment and ask (I’ll either comment back or email directly). I won’t spill it all here, as it’s my own personal interests, but I at least wanted to call it out.
Anyway, it wasnt a bad movie. It just wasn’t spectacular. I’d choose it over that Ashley Tisdale one with the phone (blah). But hey, it did the job for a cute movie on a Sunday night. Kept me watching something while organizing computer files.
Wait, was that a compliment or not? You decide.
