Why did this win best screenwriter??

Rating: 2/10 (11 February 2008)

I was left irritated by Juno. Not only was the dialogue so forced and unrealistic, Ellen Page (Juno) came off as arrogant and ridiculously naive.
The story was just too easy- no angry parents after being told your (step)daughter is pregnant, no being picked on at school (apart from one occasion where Juno drops her books and gets slight harassment), and a completely indifferent love interest. It would have been slightly more interesting if we got more of an idea what emotions Juno and Bleeker were going through but we get none of this. Instead we see Juno breeze through her pregnancy, almost immediately finding new parents for the baby, with just one "bump along the way" as the tag line suggests.
As a teenager myself, I felt rather insulted by this film. It gave the impression that all teenagers are ignorant and naive, with little consideration of our actions.
If you want to see a film where an annoying 16 year old spews clichés and goes through a pretty uneventful pregnancy then you might like this, but not me.
By the way, who on earth says "for shizz"??
