harishkendrekar A salient, yet echoing tale. Teens superficially pretend to be naïve, (isn't that what they're supposed to be) they aren't.

TheBigSick Well, for a typical coming-of-age film, the quality of script and acting performances almost decide everything. And for this particular one, both the script and performances are noticeable, just as those from other brilliant coming-of-age films, such as The Edge of Seventeen, The Spectacular Now, Lady Bird, and so on. The casting is the base for the performances, which is also pretty well done. The most distinct feature of this film lies in the slight twist in plot and the novel topic, pregnancy for high school teenagers.

Dave This is one the worst films I've ever seen - I don't know why it's popular. Skinny dorky teenage boys don't even get the opportunity to hold hands with girls (unless they're rich), let alone have sex with pretty girls - so Juno wanting anything to do with Paulie is unbelievable. Juno's reaction to being pregnant by a dork at 16 is ludicrous. She takes the news calmly at though it's nothing. First she casually decides to have an abortion, then casually changes her mind to have the baby adopted - with less emotion than most people expend on deciding what to wear or eat today.

LSTHNSTMAN Let me begin by saying that this review will be very intense as my point of view on this subject and the film is strident and represents my personal attitudes. That said I will not be vulgar or obscene. In truth I shall be "high brow" and exacting in my remarks. If my beliefs upset the "thought police" at this site and do not publish this review I know it will be because IMDb believes in "CENSORSHIP" that does not fit their political agendas. Finally, my remarks will undoubtedly alienate those on the "right" as well as those on the "left" but I still have first amendment rights and as such I intend use them. I shall now begin. In my opinion this movie celebrates a major problem in this country; TEEN PREGNANCY. These two neophytes who engaged in sexual relations should be PUNISHED for the act they committed. Yes, I said PUNISHED!!!!!! The boy should not be allowed to have another child ever again!!!! He should be forced to have a vasectomy for his cavalier actions. He has taken a step that ultimately brought a child into the world even though he knows full well that his actions could and did result in Juno's becoming pregnant. Was he asleep during"sex ed" curriculum. A subject which by the way is mandated in most public high schools in the USA. His "duh I am in love intimacy" is his own self indictment. As for her she really is not much better and should have (assuming she is as sophisticated as the film portrays her) restrained her physical, nevertheless immature juvenile animal sexual urges. In my opinion she should have opted for the abortion!!! Yes, I know we were treated to a "happy ending" but in 99 and 44/100% of these cases "happy endings" are simply fairy tales and do not come true. Thus the child becomes A DRAIN ON MY TAX DOLLARS AND SOCIETY.!!!!! You read correctly: A DRAIN ON MY TAX DOLLARS!!!! Most unwanted pregnancies end with the child becoming "WARDS OF THE STATE" and not the responsibility of the parents. This is poppycock and boulderdash and I do not want to shell out my hard earned money for so called unavoidable "youthful indiscretions"!!!!!!! I would like this movie to have taken place in "THE HOOD" as opposed to white middle class Minnesota. Now that would truly be a reality check regarding teen pregnancy!!!! Catch my drift!!!
