Hits mostly true notes

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2015)

A sort of small movie that made it big. The film hit mostly true notes. Ellen Page showed much talent, carrying this movie on her shoulders. Her way of speaking, while a bit annoying to me (at my age) did bring back remembrances of teenage years, mine and others, where young people are trying out a lot of things, trying to establish their individual identity. I would have thought that cell phones would have been ubiquitous among teenagers in 2007, even in Minnesota. I didn't really notice if there were any (other) cues (car models, etc.) that the setting may have been some time prior to that. Anyway, I liked the film, but do not find it as big of a deal as some others have. Oh yeah, and interesting how the Hollywood Left crowd is militant on abortion, but I never heard any criticism of how the clinic was portrayed, and how it influences Juno' decision.
