For Keeps?

Carmen LicaNov 16, 2022

A high school ace with everything going for her goofs up and gets pregnant; her mother is devastated, and her boyfriend's parents object, but the teens get married and hope for the best. Molly Ringwald's appealing personality manages to shine through the plastic coating and convictionless screenplay by Denise DeClue and Tim Kazurinsky, good writers who have no idea what tone to set--nor how to wrap things up. The adults are shrill caricatures played cartoonishly over-the-top, while newcomer Randall Batinkoff is just average. Ringwald's career became rudderless after out-growing the John Hughes/teen-angst comedies which made her a star, so why in "For Keeps?" is she back in high school? It's a defeatist move, and while Ringwald never embarrasses herself, she's obviously too smart a cookie to lend any kind of credibility to this hackneyed scenario. ** from ****

Spoilers Secret Life of American Teenager to me is kind of like a modern day "For Keeps," but for Keeps is much better. It does not patronize teens or make it seem like they are constantly thinking of sex, it shows the consequence of teen pregnancy. This movie seems like it intends to entertain teens while teaching them a lesson. Also, it teaches a lesson without seeming that way; it is a lot less preachy than secret life. Unline Amy, Ringwald (who ironically is Amy's Mom is secret life) marries the man who gets her pregnant and does not want any help from her mom, neither of them look for their parents for help. They both get jobs and work hard to make it on their own. It shows how hard it is for both of them not to be able to pursuit their dreams, but how they love their baby more than anything.

This is one of those underrated 80's teen movies. You have Ferris Bueler, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, Better Off Dead, etc. And somewhere in there is For Keeps? Or at least I thought it was that good to be somewhere up there. I thought this should have gotten more credit. It shows what a young couple would have to go through raising a baby. You really feel for the characters and truly hope they'll end up working out all of their problems. Molly Ringwald and John Zarcan do an exceptional job in their roles. The parents were really funny and entertaining. All in all this is a great film with both laughs and tears. I found myself smiling without even knowing it!

"For Keeps" is not a totally bad movie show boating the challenges facing two oooey gooey teens in the arms of passion and in love & just trying to raise a family in modern times. But there are some awkward and sappy moments. First, I can't describe it here, but to those who have taken sex-ed classes in school....The opening credits scene just leaves me with uncomfortable image...But we see two small town teens that you know will end up with a unplanned pregnancy because they are making out like rabbits. Which is what happens....along with some sappy dialogue and those awful cliché moments, Darcy and Stan live the bitter with the sweet. Trying to fight the world, but you know it will turn out o.k because these crazy kids are just too much in love. Despite the corny situations and scenes, it does show a perspective on teen pregnancies. In my opinion, I think life is a lot more tougher in the cold cruel world, but what the heck! it's only a movie

Ringwald excels in this romantic-comedy about a couple who are on top of the world, very much in love and have the making for an idyllic future. That was before the baby came. Soon enough the honeymoon is over - diapers are in and late night dates are out.

I can't understand how this excellent teen romance received such a low rating...the story may be a bit dated, but considering the teen pregnancy rate in the US, it is still very topical. But more than this, the acting all around in excellent...Molly Ringwald's best effort. A high school student get pregnant, her boyfriend marries her, they struggle to get through school and into college, with obstacles such as an obstructive mother-in law to hurdle. Eventually the trials just about get the best of them, but love triumphs in the end. There's a lot of honest emotion in this film, very realistic as is the 1960s setting.

For Keeps (1988) Molly Ringwald, Randall Batinkoff, Kenneth Mars, Miriam Flynn, Conchata Ferrell, Sharon Brown, Renee Estevez, John Zarchen, Michelle Downy, Pauly Shore, D: John G. Avildsen. Long-term high school couple marries thinking they can handle a life together after diligent Ringwald gets pregnant. Truthful teen trials like sex, marriage, parenthood, and family acceptance are underscored, but the repercussions of the story are obvious and insincere. Good intentions though. Running Time: 98 minutes and rated PG-13 for some language and sexual situations. RATING: ** (out of ****)
