(I went to see "Knocked Up" with friends when it came out, and it made me cringe a thousand cringes. I'm not a baby person either, really.)

Dunya and Desie is actually really great, except it centers on the one teenage girl's unplanned pregnancy with twins and how she "heroically" eschews abortion. Ciao Bella, same thing - teen girl gets knocked up and her decision not to abort is portrayed as hopeful, inspiring and heroic. I do grow weary of this plot device, and wonder why it's all the rage right now. The last two are new European films I saw in Berlin.
