Juno is a light hearted, quirky romance (sans much romance) that deals with a very serious topic. It is most like an update of "Say Anything" for today's teen generation - popular music, common themes, and a generally spot on view of the paradigm of today's youth.
Juno dives right into the subject matter, and in some ways one must suspend one's disbelief from the get go. The setup is very sympathetic to Juno and her family, and sheds some cynical views on the supposedly "perfect" couples.
Ultimately a good, fresh look at a subject that isn't treated very often, Juno is a good recommendation for anyone looking for a movie about today's high school generation, or a nice take on the "broken" family that seems to pervade our society in general.
