Review of Juno

Juno (2007)
8/10
Insight into teen culture
25 August 2020
"Blue Denim" (1959) meets "Clueless." Unlike "Blue Denim," where Carol Linley apparently got pregant just by going into the basement alone with Brandon De Wilde, "Juno" at least shows some clothes hitting the floor. In both movies the pregnant teen opted out of an abortion, although in 1959 the only option was the "back alley" version. Like "Clueless" this featured an insight into a teen culture and vocabulary which at times seems totally foreign to adults. Ellen Page's Canadian accent actually slipped through a couple of times when she pronounced certain words the uniquely Canadian way. (Think: Donald Sutherland's voice in a commercial.)
