I am not usually someone who complains about bad acting in a movie. But the acting in The Pregnancy Promise was not just bad, but atrocious. Not just reading lines, but reading them badly--in every single scene except for one. When Skye's mother comforted her during late pregnancy when she said she felt "as big as Jupiter." That scene was realistic and well-acted, but the rest. Whew!
Still I'm giving the movie 5 stars because otherwise it was soapy Lifetime fun!!!! In addition to the best friends being pregnant, there were several other interesting subplots. The villain was a complete surprise. However, unfortunately, because the acting was not good, the revelation fell kinda flat when it could have been really awesome.
Some things were improbable, like scrawny, nerdy Jake ever being a prospect for the NBA. Why didn't they just make him a geek who wanted to skip college and be the next Steve Jobs?
The babies at the end were so darned cute! And they wouldn't just be best friends; they're actually cousins.
