Storyline
A 16-year-old boy discovers that a girl he met at summer camp became pregnant with his child when he sees a birth announcement in the local newspaper. He is determined, however, to be a father to his baby because of his own father deserting him and his mother when he was two years old, thinking it will be easy. He learns, however, that being a father is not at all what he dreamed it would be when reality hits of making sacrifices, such as giving up a car he wanted to buy and not being able to attend a birthday party of a girl he likes at school.

This was an exceptionally good movie. Rob Lowe's first movie was one of his all-time best. If you enjoyed this movie, then you should rent The Outsiders, another of Lowe's best acted films. I really enjoyed how his character interacted. Since I saw this movie, he became my favorite actor of all time.
