Comments:

Nice drama movie ^_^. Seeing the title i tought Juno was comedy, but i was wrong. A drama that show there are a lot of options around. Which way to choose or how we react is just depend to us. I love to see how supporting Juno's father and step mother Bren to their daughter during the pregnancy, and instead off yelling at Juno, the father accept it very well and he also show his support by accompany his daughter to meet the future foster parents. Juno was also make a good decision by hand over her baby for an adoption rather than have an abortion. The best part is when i saw how supporting Bren (the step mother) and Leah (the friend) while Juno was giving a birth to the baby. It's like not too many people has the privelege experiencing such condition, right? Well, not that i agree of being pregnant at 16 and no husband, but this movie show a better way to solve problems. And i also love when Juno realized that there was someone that love her no matter what, tough the movie does not show in a proper way if there was somebody which head over heel to Juno. The movie is ok, go ahead and watch ^_^
