Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that there have been a bunch of movies in the last year where a woman decides to carry an unexpected pregnancy to term? We just watched Waitress recently. There was Knocked Up before it. And Juno is still in theaters. I will never claim to know how difficult it is to go through with an unexpected pregnancy, but I’m glad there are mainstream movies that show people making that choice.
And there’s Bella too. While Bella was made specifically to advocate for unborn babies (and as a result has had a difficult time getting distribution), as far as I can tell, no such agenda exists for the other three movies (and they have gotten great distribution). It seems to be a Hollywood coincidence which I am grateful for.
