It was written as if we should feel sorry for Aubrey but I did not at all. I feel like she & her parents were out of line. Sam did lose it somewhat but this was after being mistreated by his supposed girlfriend who is pregnant by him and being shut out as well as being manipulated by his mother.

I think the writer/writers went to a library of famous authors, and pulled the first 10 plot parts and pounded them together, whether they made sense together or not! Completely unbelievable and convoluted in a very poor plot, with no redeeming value. Sad cuz it "could" have been so much better.

One can only feel for young Sam Doss, who learns that his girlfriend, Audrey Collier, is pregnant and expresses his eagerness to marry Audrey and become a responsible father. There was an unusual cruelty on the part of Audrey in shutting Sam out of the decision-making progress. Her snap decision to carry the baby to term and give it up for adoption was completely insensitive, and it was endorsed by her equally callous parents.

SPOILER ALERT: Fast forward to the ending of the film in which we learn that a year later, a healthy baby has been delivered and is now being raised by Audrey's parents! And we learn that Sam may be granted a token visitation!

Although well-performed by the actress, Sam's mother, Casey Doss, was despicable beyond imagination. She had effectively abandoned her baby boy Sam to the care of her mother. At the time of Sam's birth Casey was not even certain who was the father. She subsequently kills her own mother, then bludgeons Audrey's mom Jennifer and runs over Jennifer's husband Mike with her SUV. At one point, she nearly set fire to the Collier family home.

But the odd man out in the film is poor Sam. Even prior to her learning of her pregnancy, Audrey had made the decision to dump him The line that she used on him was for them to "just live in the moment," prior to her departure to Whittendale University. She thought she had the situation under control when she muttered, "Problem solved," thinking that Sam would soon be out of her life. But she hadn't counted on one annoying fact: Sam actually had a moral compass and decent human values in his life.
