"Original" My rear-end!!

Rating: 1/10 (18 July 2009)

I am highly offended that people would call this film "revolutionary", "original" or anything short of "STOLEN". Everyone made a big deal about how it was the first movie that dealt with teenage sex, teenage pregnancy, and there are plenty more but at the risk of spoiling it for those of you who have not seen this plagiarized work, I will leave that up to you. But whether you've seen it or not...I urge you to watch the Korean family comedy "Jenny, Juno" about two teenagers who have sex, get pregnant, and the rest is up for you to watch. Oh, and by the way, "Jenny, Juno" was a big hit in South Korea, came out almost 2 years prior to Diablo Cody's alleged "original script", and the entire story (minus the obvious pop-culture jokes from Juno being stolen from other movies) is exactly the same, minus the not so startling sub-plot. Nonetheless, you cannot take an entire story plagiarize it almost word for word, change one minor sub-plot detail and be given credit for "originality". If Diablo Cody had any decency in her she'd admit to her plagiarism, return the Oscar for "Original" Screenplay, and beg the South Koreans for forgiveness. If not, than all her work is to be labeled suspect.
