Juno


Reading the review for Juno was kind of well, a review. I had watched Juno before and thought it was a decent movie. I have not watched it in a long time so my view to it probably has changed now that I am more mature. I thought the review was a very good review. It presented negatives and positives; a negative would have been that the dialogue was too clever and sarcastic and a positive would have been that Juno would kind of be a role model to young teenage girls, in a way. I kind of disagree with when they said that the dialogue was too sarcastic or clever compared to real-life teen pregnancy because I think it would be just the same in real life. Some people have to cope with things like that, if something is really hard for a person then they will kind of joke about it to make it seem not so bad. I think when her evaluation of the movie was on point when she said that the movie had a lot of heart. I agree, Juno is a movie that has a screwed up situation and the characters still try to make the best of it. One of the critics that Heinekamp included in her evaluation that said that it would have been more realistic if Juno would have gotten an abortion, I think is wrong. If you look at teen girls that are pregnant these days most of them are having the baby. I think it is more realistic for her to carry out with the pregnancy, but I think it would have been more realistic of her to keep it too. You do not always hear about abortions and people getting them which makes her having one less realistic and it would have been very controversial. Overall, I thought the review was pretty accurate.
