Pretentious and overrated

Rating: 5/10 (1 September 2008)

Okay, the acting is good. It's worth seeing only for Alison Janney and JK Simmons' performance as Juno's parents and even the usually dull Jennifer Garner shines, but where Juno fails is that the subject matter is treated very lightly and the character Juno herself takes her predicament far to lightly and finds a solution to her 'problem' extremely easily and without much emotion at all. The script is horrible, peppered with words like "Dude" and "like, totally, whatever'. Juno is supposedly so intelligent and yet speaks like a twelve year old and yet wasn't mature enough to have protected sex? Huge plot hole, Miss Cody!!! Diablo Cody did NOT deserve her Oscar. The film is pretentious and extremely overrated.
