Rating: 5/10 (5 June 2008)

Lemme start by saying this movie is in no way a modern classic comedy. "Superbad" is is my opinion the best comedy to come out in years which is why i even checked this one out. This feel-good comedy portrays our lovable teenage protagonist Juno who is caught up in hormones and bangs her best friend Bleeker and gets pregnant. All the characters in this film are written the exact same way which makes it very hard to empathize with any of them. The characters all have a cumulative personality and could have been interchangeable. Worst yet it has a very pretentious feel to it and can only be described as lackluster. The movie goes nowhere fast. While some moments are funny, and Michael Cera and Ellen Page try to save the overwritten script, it fails on all four corners of film making as a whole. While there are some redeeming values in Juno, overall this movie is just your average teenage feel-good comedy and should only be viewed if you are bored and cant figure what to do with 96 minutes of your life. 5/10
