"Pregnant at 17" was written by Christine Conradt, which is usually a good sign. Though Conradt's scripts often descend into barely believable melodrama, at least she occasionally gives her characters some complexity and dimension, and her recent directorial debut with the Lifetime movie "The Bride He Met Online," despite its formulaic and stupid title, was quite engaging.
Certainly not a bad movie nevertheless, it is done in somewhat by its ending. What happened to the husband?
Young Chelsea lost her mother at a young age. She has always dreamed of visiting her mother's birthplace in Dusseldorf.
I've watched this movie twice. I love it because it's a thriller and it works in a great mix of compassion and a great ending.
