Yes this movie is set in the present, don't let the shorts fool you...
Now going into this movie I was wondering how it was going to be. But once you leave you have many lines going through your head and if you are like me and my husband we are quoting it the rest of the day.
"Did you know Juno was pregnant?"
"Yeah."
"Did you know it was yours?"
"Yeah."
"You should grow a mustache."
"I can't."
"Me neither."
Ok so maybe you have to watch this movie to get some of these lines, but I really think this was written very clever and interesting. If I would have been a pregnant teenager I would hope that my parents would have reacted exactly the way that Juno's parents did, mad but deal with it and help her.
So if you want a different, witty movie I would recommend Juno for sure. Note it is PG-13 for a reason. Obviously she and her boyfriend have sex and there is talk or else it wouldn't be a pregnant teenager movie.
Not sure if I would sit my children down when they are in high school to have them watch this to show what teenage pregnancy is about though...
