Once the child is born (an event which Charles learns about only by reading the newspaper birth notices), the story shifts into gear -- but not in the manner that one might expect. Reversing the usual TV-movie situation, Daisy wants to put her child up for adoption...while Charles, hoping to compensate for the loneliness he experienced growing up in a fatherless home, insists upon raising the kid himself. Schoolboy Father is handled in a commendably unpatronizing fashion, arriving at a logical and wholly credible conclusion. ~ Rovi
