1. Quality

2. Summary

   Perfect 5.0

   The oh so popular teen pregnancy flick that has seemed to turn quite a few heads since it’s release really does deliver in my opinion. Being as how I’ve personally been through a very similar situation, I found that it was very easy to relate to the characters in Juno and they’re problems. For the few that don’t get this movie or feel that it is stupid, I ask, “what more could you possibly want in this kind of movie?”

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   After watching Hard Candy, I was sold on Ellen Page. I instantly fell in love her playing the psychotic yet heroic pre-teen who was doing what we all wish we could do to pedophiles and in Juno, she’s even better. Thankfully, the movie didn’t rely entirely on Page as the supporting cast was equally as great.

10. Film

    Perfect 5.0

    The story, music, culture, and lifestyles of the characters has got to be the most down to Earth, and realistic that any movie has had in recent years. I love this movie and it has made my top ten list of all-time favorite movies. Definitely a great flick to watch no matter what kind of a mood you’re in.

16. Edge

    Sordid 3.0

    Juno is pretty edgey. It’s a movie about a minor that becomes pregnant and faces the terrifying situation of whether to keep the baby or not, all the while she’s dealing with people’s attitudes and reactions towards her. Mild sexual innuendos, and the rude, vulgar, but overall “honest” attitude displayed by Page’s character Juno are really the edge to this movie.

18. Violence Brutal 3.0

19. Rudeness Profane 3.0

21. Reality

    Natural 1.0

    There’s no giant monsters, there’s no breakdancing contests, there’s no spoofing on celebrities, it’s 100% real life and real problems with real characters.
