Janet Maslin New York Times 05/20/2003
Its subject is nominally daring, but in spite of that, For Keeps proceeds with an amazing degree of caution. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
3/4
The moments between Ringwald and Batinkoff are well-written and played with a quiet, touching sensitivity; we recognize elements of real life in their relationship. Go to Full Review Richard Freedman Newhouse News Service 11/05/2019
The result is essentially the pilot for a sentimentally sweet TV sitcom machine-tooled for the current craze of baby-boom movies. Go to Full Review Cathy Burke United Press International 12/09/2017
A dreary television-movie-of-the-week drama, far beneath the considerable talents of the mostly gifted cast. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 11/23/2004

Amy G @Amytheshort Dec 16 One of my favorite movies. The subject matter is very controversial with a teenager.Getting pregnant and her boyfriend in trouble because of the pregnancy. But love conquers all and the adult have to realize that just because their kids doesn't mean they don't know what love is. See more thiago s @Thiagostone May 26 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more 06/15/2019 One of my all time favorites!! Luv Molly Ringwald! See more 05/23/2019 A better title for this turkey may be Molly's Gate. See more 02/17/2019 Very realistic a must-watch movie. Molly Ringwald and Randall Batikoff did a great acting performance. Very relatable characters. See more 12/10/2018 An underrated film that has lots of character See more Read all reviews
