Fine Film

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2008)

Okay, first of all, I do not think the abortion clinic was run by an idiot, the girl that greats Juno is the RECEPTIONIST.
To the reviewers who do not think that young people can know about cultural things from 10 and 20 or even 30 or 40 years ago, where do you all live? Juno loves music, she is in a band, she studies it (self study at least) and most people I know that listen to music, listen to the history of their favorite genres.
I know clerks in shops that are quick witted. Do you think quickwittedness is limited to just the people who hold jobs that pay 80,000 dollars a year or more? I liked the film.
Hey people who think that her parents should have ripped her a new one....WTF? She made a mistake, she had unprotected sex. Do you honestly think all people ALWAYS have protected sex ALL the time? Come on.
I thought her parents were very cool about it.
And I did not find the main character to be RUDE. I think she was honest, and if you really paid attention to the film, she was compassionate, and showed real emotion when watching Jennifer Gerner's character play with the little girl in the mall.
THe scene when she touches and talks to her pregnant stomach, and the two women look at each other was so tender and so real. And the quiet way Jennifer Garter's character says "thank you, thank you" was sublime.
The movie is lovely.
My advice, just take 96 minutes and watch it and form your own opinion.
