the real message in the movie, at least to me.

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2008)

I'd like to respond to a comment a certain user posted: "I saw Juno last night and thought it was dreadful. I think the movie sends the WRONG message when it comes to teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy is a TRAGEDY for all those involved, least of which is the innocent child who, statistically, has very little chance of becoming a successful adult. I simply do not understand why so many posters believe this movie was 'witty' or a 'feel-good' movie. Is there any doubt that teenage girls will think that Juno was cool for getting pregnant? Having sex with her boyfriend on a chair? Awful, terrible, immoral. It's bad enough we've got the Hiltons, Lohans, et al to deal with. A sharp tongued, 'bad-ass' pregnant teen with an attitude who listens to Iggy Pop is just what we need. I was equally shocked to see how many 'tweens' were in attendance. Their parents should be ashamed.
Somebody had to say this." I agree, teenage pregnancy is a very serious issue and although Juno was quite uncanny in most every situation, I must say that I completely disagree with the above comment.
I was nearly brought to tears during several parts of Juno and why you may ask? 19 years ago, my 14 year old biological mother gave birth to me, giving me the greatest gifts she could ever give me, a life to live and a wonderful family. I know there's many people out there who only see the negative side to this movie but what I saw was the mature decision Juno made for her baby, to give it up for adoption instead of aborting him. I know many people out there are pro-choice, but I guess I don't really see how a teen girl giving a baby a life and allowing a parent to have a child she's always wanted, can be such a bad thing.
So to the above poster, perhaps Juno is a feel good movie for those who do live their life as adoptees, thankful to be alive and to have not have been aborted.
And what was that line..."Teenage pregnancy is a TRAGEDY for all those involved, least of which is the innocent child who, statistically, has very little chance of becoming a successful adult." Well here's a statistic for you. I am the result of a teenage pregnancy. I've graduated from high school, held a part-time job since I was 14 and worked for most everything I've had, I don't do drugs or have run-ins with the police, and am putting myself through college right now. I do believe I have a very good chance at being a successful adult and I bet there's millions of other results of teenage pregnancies who can say the same.
So whatever these moral bashing people are saying, I thought Juno was a kick ass movie. If you like that weird, immature humor from movies like Superbad, this movie is hilarious. If you loves those moments that just makes you go "awww" you'll love this movie. And yes, if you are pro-life in any little way, you will see these movie does have a good message to it.
