This movie tells the story of a girl who did everything wrong but got everything right. Drew Barrymore stars as Beverly, a smart, beautiful young woman who can’t wait to grow up, much to the frustration of her police sergeant father. Her life takes its first detour when she gets pregnant at age 16. The baby’s father, her husband, turns out to need more mothering than her newborn son, but through all the trouble she makes a life that’s more than she ever imagined.
