'Juno' about Juno?

Won Oscar. Another 38 wins & 25 nominations. What movie is it?
-LEAH-

Sixteen year-old Juno MacGuff is the type of girl that doesn't really care what others may think of her. She learns that she's pregnant from a one-time sexual encounter with her best friend, Paulie Bleeker. Juno and Paulie like each other, but don't consider themselves to be exclusive boyfriend/girlfriend let alone be ready to be a family complete with child. Although she would rather not be pregnant, Juno is fairly pragmatic about her situation.Paulie really leaves all the decisions about the baby to Juno. She first chooses abortion, and when a weird encounter occurs with a protester she changes her mind. Juno decides on having the child, not getting attached and giving it to an adoptive family.

Many people have had an issue with this movie. They believe it is promoting the idea of teen pregnancy or abortion. Well, if you have a problem with the movie...DONT SEE IT! I personally think it is a good movie. Juno uses so much humor and sarcasm; it makes the movie!

I agree! I really liked this movie, and I honestly don't see why people had to complain about it.
