Negative Positive
Title: Confessions
Review: Jena plays Rena Grubb, a pregnant teenager. She resides in a trailer home with her brother who may possibly be gay, her half-sister, and her mom. Her father is in prison. In addition to the various assorted issues at home, the movie leads up to a family visit to prison where a few more issues arise. This movie is an awakening for Rena and her family. Before the visit, Rena idolized her father, however, comes to see that he is a loser. Incredibly, by the end of the visit, the family came to realize they have each other and can begin to move on with their lives. Which is the redeeming feature of this witty dark humored movie. Although the movie was released in 2002 it is timely, especially in light of the television hit, "Secret Life of the American Teenager." If you are a Jena Malone fan and for some reason have not seen this movie, you need to see it. Jena Malone at her best.
