Unwed Father (1997)
I felt that this movie showed that people do give up a lot when having an unplanned child but that it doesn't mean having to ruin their lives.
The movie "Unwed Father" starring Brian Austin Green and Nicholle Tom was a terrific portrayal of what happens when two people have a baby from a one night stand. Melanie, (Tom) showed that it takes great courage to live with your mistakes and make the sacrifice that she made initially when giving up her child to the birth father, Jason (Green). Brian Green did a terrific job playing the role of a father considering at the beginning of the movie he was a college 'kid' who was willing to give up his paternal rights. I was quite upset with both sets of parents at first; understanding that it is a mother's worst nightmare to have her child relive the events from her life. I thought it was unfortunate that Jason's stepmother was so selfish about her marriage and her beauty sleep that she forced him out using the excuse that her marriage (to Jason's dad) was in jeopardy. This movie showed that people do give up a lot when having an unplanned child but that it doesn't mean having to ruin their lives.
Samantha (1991)
A story about a talented violinist in search of herself through her birth parents.
Samantha is a film about an exceptionally talented violinist (Martha Plimpton) who, on her 21st birthday, discovers that her parents did not give birth to her but rather found her on their doorsteps. Feeling that she has lost her true identity because she has been living a lie she goes in search of her birth parents driving everyone crazy including her best friend Henry (Dermot Mulroney) who she is not so secretly in love with and alienating her violin instructor not to mention the parents she has known her whole life. I thought this was a fun movie even though Samantha was a maniac. I'm still in awe that Dermot Mulroney plays the cello in real life!
