I agree with Court
But I've had so many disagreements over Juno. I know so many people who were offended by it! The creepy husband thing made a little sense to me the music kind of ruined it for me. I don't know why, I'm into fairly cool and alternative music but that was too much.
One thing i want to say is Jennifer Garner's character just moved me to tears several times. I feel like she was me. Her fears after the failed situation, when she asked what "percent' sure Juno was (omigosh....that desperation!) but most of all the time in mall when she was playing with the other children and then ran into Juno and Juno let her feel the baby kick. It was such a tiny but powerful performance.
The people I know who have been offended include some very liberal pro choicers who felt it glamorized teenage pregnancy. And of course I have read here that there are birth mothers and Amoms who felt the movie made light of their experience.
I didn't laugh at the parts you're supposed to laugh so much, ilke I said I really zeroed in on Garner and the movie was interesting to me for that reason.
