For Keeps
"You're what?!"
Directed by John G. Avildsen
Produced by TriStar Pictures
A sincere romantic drama about young love tested by unexpected parenthood, balancing comedy with the weight of adult responsibility.
Young high school couple Darcy Elliot and Stan Bobrucz are one year from graduation, with promising futures ahead of them. But their paths take a drastic turn when Darcy becomes pregnant. Unwilling to go through an abortion or an adoption — despite their parents' pleas — Darcy and Stan decide to sacrifice their college experiences and degrees in order to keep and raise the baby. After a quick marriage, the two realize it won't be as easy as they thought.
