Genre: Drama

Baby Love has an interesting premise, but does step wrong on several levels. It's still got some moments well worth experiencing, despite overall coming off as weak.

Luci's 15 and poor, embarking on a promising career as the high school mattress, and just to make things worse her mother commits suicide. Fortunately a wealthy childhood boyfriend of her mother takes Luci into his family. Fancy clothes doesn't stop emotional scars from bleeding, and soon enough Luci's presence affects the entire family.

Being from the late 60's, it's also quite interesting just to watch what goes for shocking in those days.

Anyways. The movie isn't focused enough, the story-lines' doesn't manage to grasp the potential and some of the acting is less than convincing.
