I saw it two weeks ago, mostly out of curiosity from all I read about it on forums...

I think it could have emphasized Juno's loss more but again I really think she was pretty distant from the pregnancy and it's something the movie showed pretty well... until the end when she sees the baby and breaks down. Granted, I'm no birthmother, but I'm sure a lot of teens who get pregnant don't really realize what's going on until the birth...

About the creepy husband, I mostly saw it as a wake up call for him, and that it made him realize he wasn't ready to be a dad and had nothing in common with his wife... From what I've read on forums it's not that uncommon to have birthmothers and adoptive parents have a pretty close relationship before the birth, so that aspect didn't shock me that much.

I hated Jennifer Garner. I don't like her, but she was definitely way too uptight. The whole time it seemed that she showed no interest whatsoever in Juno and only in the baby... like the way she seemed to totally disapprove of everything Juno stood for at the first meeting in the house... She just seemed cold to me. Of course I understand what she went through, but I don't like the image it gave of adoptive parents.

What I found really weird is having the attorney in the house and having her sign papers the first day... Is it common in private adoptions? Just seemed really odd to me.

But yeah of course I cried in the end when Juno was crying at the hospital... I never met my babies' birthmom but it was tough to think she went through the same thing.

Still liked the movie overall.
