Hindsight



Pretty Good
This movie is about an irresponsible young couple, Dina (Miranda Bailey) and Ron (Waylon Payne) that live in their car with no means of support. When they find out they are knocked up, they see their unborn baby as a way to make money by selling it on the internet to a prospective couple...Paul (Jeffery Donavan) and Maria (Leonor Varella). They come together and things go well as until the baby's biological father can keep his true nature under control. He gets angry and slaps his pregnant girlfriend which makes the adoptive father question whether or not they are making the right choice with this adoption. It is from this point that things start beginning to take twists and turns. You may be able to predict how the movie is going to end, but the trip to the end is an enjoyable one. The actors deliver well enough and the plot has enough turns to keep people guessing. There's enough gore to keep the spatter crowd entertained, and some depth for those of us who like to look in to film...

Not bad.

There were a few twists in the story that kept it from being overly predictable, but I wouldn't say it's one of the most well-developed plots. It's not a bad film; it's worth at least a rent.

As the 10th Doctor would say, "Wellllllllll..."

What really happens is Ron and Dina, a dirt bag couple who make their living stealing cars and skipping out on hotel and restaurant bills, find themselves expecting. Dina doesn't want a baby and decides they'll sell it to the highest bidder. They get several offers but the couple they pick, the couple that offers the most money, is Maria and Paul, a successful doctor and lawyer who live in a model home on an up-and-coming development site.

As the delivery date gets closer, Ron and Dina go to Paul and Maria's to finally meet them in person, and to collect the down payment on their baby. The plan,...
