Too Young to Marry is a 2007 romantic comedy-drama television film directed by Michel Poulette and based on a story by Elle Triedman.
It involves two 17-year-olds, Max Doyle (Dillon Casey) and Jessica Carpenter (Nina Dobrev), who think that they are in love and decide to get married, despite their parents' disapproval.
The film also features Polly Draper, Allison Graham, Anna Hopkins, James O'Regan, and Amanda Tilson.
When Jessica sees her mother arrive home after a bad date with a philatelist, she does not reveal to her what her father has told her.
He loves his fiancé because of her optimistic attitude, the fact that she is headstrong and her ability to make things work.
Roger feels as if his daughter will be compromising her university education and does not wish to play a part in Jessica and Max's marriage.
Max's father supports his son's decision because he feels that Jessica is a terrific person and that he and his wife also married at a young age.
Jessica's mother makes her daughter promise that she will finish college and earn her degree, as well as use birth control.
When the couple has dinner together, Max reveals that he has started to fill in college applications and that he has been offered an internship at an architect's office.
