Riding in Cars with Boys Reviews

It has some funny moments but i would not call this a comedy

"You really do love him. I think that sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it. Because if we actually felt how much we really love them, it would kill us. That doesn't make you a bad person. It just means your heart's too big."

God, I miss Brittany Murphy. I think 'Riding in Cars with Boys' was the perfect depiction on how teen pregnancy can affect the parents. Fay was surrounded by people who loved her. She had support and wasn't shunned like Beverly was. Beverly had dreams and goals for herself. She did not want to be married or to have a kid, while Fay accepted it.

I feel bad for the characters in this film, but I feel the most for Jason. He has to be raised by a parent who is still a kid herself, and she never really grew out of that while he was forced to grow past it. Beverly did good things at times, but she wasn't a good mom. She never wanted to face the reality that her dream was leaving her, especially after watching her friends who didn't get pregnant. She even pushed this dream onto her son who didn't wish for the same things as she does.

This film touched me deeply because it reminds me of my own mom who had me while she was still in high school. She had dreams that she had to give up to have a kid, and she was never able to achieve them. She suffered postpartum depression and didn't feel a close bond with me at first, just as Beverly did. It's hard to give up the things you've always wanted. Even when you know you have to, it doesn't change the fact that it's hard, and I'm glad Beverly achieved what she wanted in the end while admitting she wasn't fair to Jason growing up.

Fay was a really good friend, and the scene at the wedding where she supported Beverly when her own father couldn't was my favorite scene in the whole movie. Their friendship was amazing and I loved their scenes together. The actor who played kid Jason was amazing and he really brought in the emotions during his scenes.

Just devastating

powerful ass movie

Sigh I love me a good movie to cry to

i watched thinking it was a fun romcom, lol i was wrong. destroyed me in so many ways.

10/10 This movie brings you through all the emotions. Characters of course are amazing. Storyline while sad at some points was amazing, real and truthful. I remember this being a moved that I could watch a million times when I www younger and still can

Barrymore and Murphy.

Mommy issues THE MOVIE

too real for me. i almost died. im so upset. i dont think ill ever recover.

Wow, this movie shows that even if you’re a teen parent, you can still make your dreams come true. You live, and you learn to adapt with the problems life throws at you. What a beautiful, messy movie about parenthood, and doing what’s best for your kid with what you have.

THIS IS NOT A COMEDY. If it was labeled as a drama I would have gave it a higher score but I was expecting to laugh not be mildly traumatized. Still a great story line and amazing acting just wish it wasn’t labeled a comedy.

oh my god so good

i cry everytime such a classic

It was okay. It’s always women that have to sacrifice everything.

If her parents had just supported her instead of forcing her to marry she likely could have accomplished everything she wanted to accomplish. Or, at the very least, seen if her dreams were really all she thought they’d be.

Terrible mother

Sometimes us humans try to control our life to make sure we get what we want. But what if what we want has a different path that must be taken to have our life achieved. Ifykyk. 7/10.

Movie was good, a little bit longer than expected. I was thinking thus was a rom com, but guess not. Would’ve been nice to see Fay and Bev together when they were older!

Incredibly sad but also real showcasing of teen parenting and single motherhood. I wish Ray had sobered up before his son grew up but I’m glad he was at least good for something at the end.
