it is not a light-hearted movie... some parts are and some parts are utterly gut wrenching or i found so and i have seen it twice. yes there are jokes yes there is humour and a happy ending. no body is going to see a movie that just focuses on teen pregnancy are they? riding in cars with boys focused on teen pregnancy and it also used some level of humour to even out the darkness and depression in that film.

while i agree should not be having children... its happening its out there. atleast this movie in some ways addresses that issue and has a character some girls can relate to who does the right thing and gives the baby up for adoption, its not easy as the adoptive parents in the movie are flawed. but the movie highlights that juno is not old enough for the responablity and maybe just maybe that will influence some pregnant teenagers to take a mature approach.
