Reader's Response #3- Juno
I have only seen bits and pieces of Juno, but I enjoyed it from what I saw. I felt the response by Ali Heinekamp was written well, but it almost seemed to be kind of negative. I felt that she was saying all the bad things about the movie instead of incorporating the positives as well. She talked a lot about how the pregnancy wasn't very realistic, and how the dialogue is too good to be true. I agree with her opinions, because throughout the movie Juno just goes with the flow and doesn't really act like a normal pregnant woman would. Even though she states a lot of the negatives about the movie, she does explain how the emotional heart of the movie is unbelievable and moving. I agree with this, because I cannot imagine getting pregnant at a young age, planning on keeping the baby, and then putting it up for adoption. I personally would have been an emotional roller coaster, but Juno handled herself very calmly. Some people probably think that Juno was not a good role model for young girls her age, but you have to remember that she did stay in school, and she had to make many adult decisions on her own about the baby. Not many young girls would be able to do that. One thing that I would say this critic did not talk about was Juno's relationship with the baby daddy, Bleeker. It was definitely an important part of the movie, because it shows that he was there for her through the whole thing, even when times got rough. This review was easy to comprehend, because we have all seen at parts of Juno, or at least heard of it.
