At first glance, I thought the movie was going to be like nails on a chalk-board given the fact that the main characters had their own Teenage lingo, that felt too scripted/unnatural..... fortunately this novelty wore off more or less early on, and the jargon became more natural, and less forced. I think all of the characters were very convincing with their subtle quirks, from the Step-Mom, and Dad, to the boyfriend's mother.... they all came off as very believable characters. The music was fitting with the "feel" of the movie.

I think the ending, and the subtle pedophelic tension with the adoptive father and Juno was great. The ending really was great, because you really didn't see it coming.

I enjoyed the film.... watched it with my wife, and I think I enjoyed it better than her.


Thoughts???????

I thought the movie was alright, I didn't like the main character as much as most people did. I got annoyed with her banter, seemed like she was always a spot on smart@$$. That's the way she was written, ok then. I'm not saying anything against the actor, just the character.

My wife and I both saw the ending coming. For me, this movie was probably a one time view. I like some drama movies, but this one just didn't do it for me. Maybe it was all the hype associated with it, maybe it wasn't...
