Basically, the whole story is about a Christian girl who gets pregant in a rabidly evangelical Christian school, and all the people who would be expected to support her ditching her, whilst those who you&#8217;d least expect to, support her in her time of need.<br \/>\nA lot of the points that are made are a little overly simplistic from a theological perspective, but its a great movie for getting you to think how Jesus would respond in such a situation.<br \/>\nJena Malone has a starring role in the film, and I really enjoyed how she played the role of Mary.  She also appeared as the young Ellie Arroway in the film adaptation of Carl Sagan&#8217;s &#8216;Contact&#8217;, one of my all time favourites.
