I read the book and watched the trailer, it was obvious it was about teenage pregnancy and Finnish teen culture. When I watched it, I didn't except there to be a subplot about racism in Helsinki and I honestly just didn't care that much during the movie and waited to see Kiira again. The story is overall pretty good and the acting is passable. I love the soundtrack but the writing is a bit..poor. Also why was there a sex scene between underage actors on camera?? And what was the ending? It felt underwhelming that we just see the baby, no complications, these two fifteen year olds are just gonna get their own home and raise the baby no problem? I would've loved to see the aftermath of the birth of the baby and show that having children wasn't sunshine and rainbows.

The good thing about this movie is that it looks and feels realistic. The bad side is that it's very basic and predictable when it tries to touch every possible social problem. If you're interested in gritty side of Helsinki, I'd recommend a documentary like Hilton!

Stupid Young Heart isn't a bad movie if you like to watch stupid, not well educated youngsters having kids like it's a new toy. Their (childish) vision on society is between utopic and very narrow minded, leading to racism and xenophobia, and alot of bad decisions. In short nothing to be too surprised about as every big city has it's rough neighborhoods, Helsinki isn't spared of that. The story is well shot, the actors aren't bad at all concidering their young age. The movie is fine to watch once, but I don't need to watch those same dumb characters a second time.
