If you haven’t seen the movie Juno, don’t worry I won’t spoil it here. I recently saw it. It’s a comedy about a teenage girl who is “unintentionally” pregnant-ed by her teenage boyfriend. It is the story of her decision to give the child up for adoption to a seemingly ‘perfect’ yuppie couple instead of seeking a “hasty abortion” to quote her. Well, the film takes some getting used to as it has the likings of a teenage cult-film along the lines of Napoleon Dynamite. I’ve also heard that if you have kids in the 13-24 age bracket that it might freak you out a bit as to what kids are up to and talk about today. So, I’ve also heard it’s one of those movies that gets better if you give a second and third try. Anyhow, despite the Hollywood producers, it is an “accidental” pro-life film. In my opinion, it is a redeeming film for that reason. Beyond that, it has much redemptive value as we see choices we make in life change us and define us. So, see Juno if you haven’t already and chime in if you want.

Saw it. Really liked it, and thought the same thing.
I also really liked it. Especially the scene where he goes to her in the hospital. It was very touching.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the movie, “Juno!” Great movie! If you liked that, you’d probably think “Baby Mama” is hilarious 🙂
I gotta say that ‘juno’ is a great film and I love ellen page’s quirky demenor and humor.I’m also a big fan of jason bateman so the scenes between them two are pretty awesome and funny, you kinda feel like you can jump right in the conversation.
