She Woke Up Pregnant (1996 TV Movie)
7/10
Excellent acting for a dubious plot
28 September 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The plot of the film seem a little far-fetched to say the least - that someone would be raped while sleeping appears highly unlikely but technically possible with a bit of imagination ! Once you have accepted the improbability of the plot, the film is actually acted out very well indeed by all the main actors. Picture and sound quality are reasonably good. The title is a little unoriginal and I think they could have come up with something a little more imaginative. As we don't learn the reason for the pregnancy immediately and as we have not a single doubt re the lady's fidelity towards her husband, there are several minutes when the spectator is asking him/herself " How on Earth Could Such A Thing Happen ??". Once the guilty party is determined, the force of the film is "How on earth are we ever going to catch him out ??" A good fil will have the spectator on tenterhooks for the whole of its duration and this particular film succeeds admirably in that enterprise. In addition, William Moses and his wife make a very handsome couple whilst the lawyer defending JOe Penny is an absolutely despicable character, almost as despicable as Penny himself. A film well worth watching for the feelgood factor it dispenses.
