I LOVE this movie!

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2008)

OK i see a lot of people complaining like old adults who hate teenagers and think that they are all evil beings up to no good leaving comments on here using a lot of big language and run-on sentences to show their utter disgust for this movie. they seem to think that a movie about a pregnant teen is a horrible concept and that the girl was too unemotional about the whole thing. i strongly disagree with them.
this movie is a very good description of teenage pregnancy. though almost entirely in a whimsical way, you have to admit that a serious movie about teen pregnancy wouldn't get viewers. this movie was geared toward teenagers who can identify with the characters from the movie, not toward all these adults that run around with their opinions up their butts and their preconceived notions about teenagers. the only way to reach anyone is to show them something that will actually catch their attention, and the honest truth is that comedy attracts the people of the age group of the characters in Juno. these people who say that they strongly disagree with the message that the movie puts out to teens that it is OK to have sex and get pregnant totally miss the whole point of the movie. they think that the character Juno is too unemotional and detached but if she were a bouncy blonde cheerleader stereotype, she would bore the audience to tears.
i am personally a product of teen pregnancy and i know for a fact that it is not the most horrible thing in the world.
a lot of the people ranting on here said that the characters were poorly written and poorly executed, but they have obviously not spent enough time around today's youth, and should if they are going to assume that they know how the movie will come off to them. i saw the movie in theatres with my girlfriend and since then have never said to her "lets get you pregnant cause we saw it in Juno and its funny". teenagers are not as stupid as most adults seem to think. they can determine for themselves what to take away from different experiences, and to assume that Juno will make teens want to go get pregnant is just asinine, and would be the equivalent of saying that all teens who went to see a movie like Halloween are all now serial killers. people need to relax a lot more and realize that just because they think that the topic of a movie is too taboo or too blunt or whatever they think about it doesn't mean that it doesn't reach people.
personally i think it was one of the greatest indie movies of this time. yes i referred to it as an indie movie because it approaches the topic from a non-mainstream point that hasn't been explored in film. i think Juno was very well written, and that the characters were portrayed perfectly, even if people do not agree with their personalities. get out of the house and meet more people and i promise you will meet people who remind you of characters from the movie. i truly think that its Oscar was well-deserved and that it could have won several more.
