A year in the life of a 16-year old girl who finds herself pregnant.

Rating: 6/10 (18 April 2008)

After all the hype about this movie I was expecting something absolutely wonderful. Yes, Ellen Page can act, and her role in the movie Hard Candy proves this, and her role as Juno was played perfectly as a quirky, smart, and sarcastic teenager, but basically this movie was a letdown and actually quite boring. Maybe because there was so much hype leading up to the movie. I did like the fact that the parents did not have a meltdown upon hearing that she was pregnant, and their little talk after she left the room was actually quite funny. The role of the hapless and clueless, but supporting, boyfriend worked, but only for so long. And what was it with Jennifer Garner's facial expressions? She looked like she had had 20 injections of botox and actually looked quite emaciated. Allison Janney is such a great actress, but her talents were wasted in this movie.
