Robbie, in a troubled marriage with a wife who cheated on him, flees to his aunt's country home, which happens to be a home for pregnant teenage girls. He does a lot of chores and handyman stuff around the house, and strikes up a friendship with one particular girl. The movie plays almost like a documentary, clearly on a low budget, but does seem to be a realistic portrayal of what such a home might be like. That part was well done. However, what was unrealistic is Carla, his aunt, will be present with the girls, leading discussions, giving advice, being a motherly figure- but then she disappears for long periods of time. One simply cannot leave a 30 year old man with marriage troubles alone with overly sexualized teenage girls- things are bound to happen, and they do. I kept asking "Where the heck is Carla?" Nor was our man Robbie a very sympathetic character. I wanted SOMEONE in this movie to have some boundaries. As a former foster parent for troubled kids, I wanted someone in charge who I could identify with. Overall, I simply cannot recommend this movie.
