Give Abortion a Chance

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2008)

I just can't believe it. Yes, this movie is overrated, but is worst: Is tendentious and naive. It's not a realistic approach to this subject. It's a moralistic fairy tale disguised as dark comedy (an old trick, by the way). It depicts a shallow and distorted view of abortion in the first minutes, like a dirty and almost illegal choice to unwanted pregnancy. Then, Juno turns in a predictable and antiquated speech about maternity, responsibility, family... that kind of 'feeling good' movie.
I agree, Ellen Page is brilliant, but the dialog is unrealistic and full of cliché. And the Jason Reitman direction is completely flat and impersonal. Really, is that bad.
