| Abstract | 2007 was a big year for accidental pregnancies carried to term in the movies. Comedic films Knocked Up, Juno, and Waitress all hinged on this particular event. But is accidental pregnancy a laughing matter? The following professional project explores that quandary utilizing the works of feminist theorists Susan Bordo and Mary Russo, critical analysis, and my own authority of experience. -- Each is an enjoyable film, but each has a very specific message about to whom the pregnant body belongs and how it can be utilized for agency -- not all of those messages are feminist ideals. |
