Overview

Grand romantic gestures need not apply in this comedic tale of star-crossed young love. Instead, freshman Brian Kieslowski displays endless reserves of bumbling awkwardness as he goes home with a girl for the first time... and then learns that he got her pregnant... with twins... all while she's going through a rather inconvenient Christianity phase. Could it be that being the good guy and doing what's right are two very different things?

The film taps into some genuine, relatable truths lurking beneath all that try-too-hard quirkiness.

Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times

A story that you half-expect to turn into a melodrama stays true to the sensibilities of its immature, painfully sincere characters, who are faced with life-changing decisions.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Fresh

Kerem Sanga's The Young Kieslowski is a teen pregnancy comedy that suggests the nimble dialogue and plotting of Juno from a male perspective, minus the excessive self-regard.

Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten

This indie drama is like Knocked Up without the jokes, social insight, or storytelling skill.

Tal Rosenberg, Chicago Reader
