waste of time and effort

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2012)

What with all the hype and other reviews i had read, i finally relented against my better judgment to watch this film. 96 minutes later i was ready to be committed for therapy, perhaps they could help me to understand what reitman (Director) and Cody (writer)were thinking of, the un witty one liners thrown into the movie, i.e comparing babies to i pods, orange tic-tacs, taco bell, hamburger phones, thunder cats are go! pointless, her best friend/coitus partner is portrayed as what i can only describe as a bad napoleon dynamite reject, then there is her laid back dad with his "ah well stuff happens" attitude upon hearing she is pregnant, REALLY!!! choosing the spoilt yuppie adoptive parents scenario which lumbers into juno making advances on the husband, only for the him to find his inner child leaving the mother to decide to go it alone, yeah out of the frying pan into the fire.in short all this adds up to is a film which tries to portray un wanted teenage pregnancy as a bit of a hoot, its approach at humor is way off the mark and tiresome, some have posted that they nearly skipped away from the movie house with a new outlook on life, others have taken teenage daughters to see it and thought the subject matter was very well put together, lets hope a geeky teenage boy doesn't come a knocking claiming to be their new bff,s. the only reason i have given this movie 1 star and i am being generous here is for the cast showing up for work......
