The best propaganda is never recognized as propaganda. This is a splendid film, well acted, well produced. But it is a shill for the Pro Life movement. You don't realize that until you sit through the closing credits. For the record, I have no strong feelings about abortion one way or the other. But I do have strong feelings about disguising a political statement as entertainment. They've done it very well. It's a solid tear jerker. There is no preaching. The plot is logical and believable. Rachel Hendrix gives a magnificent performance as Hannah. It's a powerful movie that makes you laugh, cry, get angry and relate. But its raison d'etre is to deliver a loaded political message. As good as it is, the end is strung out far too long with needless new plot developments and too many mushy feel good scenes. I can't say more without creating a spoiler. But it could have ended much more neatly and still delivered the same message if "The End" had been about 15 minutes sooner. Watch it. Enjoy it. Discuss it. Just don't forget it was made not to entertain you but to influence you.

The story begins nicely but then jumps to the main theme quite abruptly. The development proves to be somewhat better than the opening. Yet the screenplay feels a bit overly flat on the story build up, not really using the comic relief part well, yet not really striking in the drama aspect. The twist later is on is another good thing to see although it's very predictable thanks to the hint earlier on. The finale is just a great job for drama enthusiast to enjoy, and the epilogue completes the movie very nicely. Rachel Hendrix puts a good acting job in this movie, just enough to depict Hannah's inner anxiety Jason Burkey gives a nice balancing role for the story to build on.

I was channel surfing a few days ago, and bumped into October Baby. "Oh no, not another teen angst movie", was my initial thought. But I lingered for awhile, and boy, am I glad I did! What a powerful story that impresses upon us the power of forgiveness - with none of the usual over the top scripts that come out of Hollywood. What a breath of fresh air, especially when we live in days of fascination with Hollywood induced "art" - more sex, violence, foul language, vampires/zombies to no end or what Brad & Angelina are up to next. What the movie gives us instead are honest performances, hardly any clichés. It endorses the importance of family - something that I think the western part of the globe is treading further & further away from. It stories like this that help us to have hope; it might be understated, but it gets you where it needs to - your convictions.

This movie was the funniest movie i have ever seen. Me and my friends laughed hysterically throughout our senior retreat. If it was supposed to be a comedy then a 10/10. Since its supposed to be drama 1/10. The acting was terrible. There were so many twists. I could of made a better movie with my ass. Thats impressive. Hannah and her mongoloid twin and their father the priest. Jason the secretly gay real brother. We wished the movie turned into a Kill Bill style revenge flick. Also a better ending would of been Hannah in the car and then a one armed Monogoloid attacking the car screaming I'm JOHNATHAN. Otherwise it was a good movie.
