Juno

I finally actually watched Juno, which is a good movie overall. Well acted, though Ellen Page's character (like many teens) is a bit hard to take. Good acting and writing overall, good supporting cast. As to the abortion clinic, when she chose the adoption route and went to ob/gyn check-ups, she did not go alone, but with friends and loved ones. Sorta important too. Not revolutionary, but worthwhile fare, with a good soundtrack and "look" (including the credits). Interesting audience commment: "this film would encourage a teen to get pregnant!" Also, here's a pregnant teen flick that is worth renting.
