Juno, starring Halifax’s Ellen Page, is a critically acclaimed comedy about a wise cracking teenager, dealing with an unexpected pregnancy. As 2007’s Indie hit, it is alternative mainstream and white people love it when low budget movies do well, even though the $7 million budget is enough to feed thousands of villages in East Africa for a year. White people, especially ones over 30, also love movies that take them back to a time when there was zero hip hop influence in white high schools. So although the character of Juno and her high school are very unrealistic, older people identify with her and wish that their unappreciative children would be more like her.
On another note, the film takes place in a fictional suburban town in Minnesota, but imagine the same storyline in say West Baltimore or Socorro, TX. My guess is that there would be less qurkiness, less acoustic guitar and zero references to Dario Argento. Teen pregnancy is not as big a problem in the suburban midwest as it is in urban centers or border towns, therefore it is acceptable to not only green light a movie shedding light on teen pregnancy but it is okay to laugh at the situation and add a killer indie soundtrack.
It also doesn’t hurt that the screenplay was written by somebody named “Diablo” and that Jason Bateman and Michael Cera are in the movie as well.
p.s I’m not a robot, I cried when Vanessa got her baby
Just as funny as Juno

I’m black and I like a lot of that stuff as well…
[...] ligt wel op Amerikanen, maar alsnog erg leuk om allemaal te lezen. Check bijvoorbeeld deze over Juno, stilstaan bij concerten [...]
Seriously, am I the only person in the world who hasn’t seen this movie???
me neither, not something I would watch.
nope, I haven’t seen it either so you’re not alone
I don’t know, but it sure does suck. Don’t bother.
I saw this site on http://www.DanielDickey.com(the MTV VJ) and must say it is just as funny!!
Did this guy make StuffJewishPeopleLike.com too?
LOL I saw this site on http://www.DanielDickey.com and I must admit it’s just as funny!!
To lily and tiffany, the site you promote on every thread is stupid, not funny and certainly not worth the time you are wasting on it. Give it a rest.
Damn kids, give me a break. what are you SEVEN? In which case you would be too young to even SEE the movie. You should ALL be embarresed and ashamed of yourselves! It’s a question about a MOVIE!! What a bunch of childish morons!
whites love this shit. get a hyper-witty high schooler who fornicates and gets knocked up. and then have “supportive” parents b/c they are white of course. what a great movie. then throw in some “clever” writing, charge 12 bucks a pop for whites to pass their time and got a hit–wonder why the country is 2nd world?
because having sex as a teenie bopper is fun and is rife with a great story line. of penises, and vaginas, and birth, that is what hollywood glamorizes and dumb white buy into.
“Sex is wonderful, sex is good, now everybody does it and everybody should..
Sex is natural, sex is fun, sex is a game of one-on-one!” -
George Michael, from his 80s hit ‘I want your sex’.
I had to reply like this, for a movie like ‘Juno’ to talk about procreation, reproduction and sexual behavior, I mean this is another way to teach teens on the serious reality about teen pregnancy, though it’s a comedy-drama in a fictional setting to explain why Juno’s case has a happy ending. :-/
Lol, Juno was awful. What high school kid is THAT smart. None my friend, none. There are just wanna be’s that enjoyed the reference to obscure band names most kid’s would otherwise have no clue who they were. Hell, I’d bang Juno if I thought she was a realistic depiction of a high school student…
Truth is, high school pregnancies are never this cute and have very few witicisms about them. They usually selfishly keep that poor sob of a kid, and then have ANOTHER kid. When will they learn…wrap that shit up.
Juno you piss me off.
Juno wouldve been fine if it didnt have terrible indie music
