So, Jenny and Juno are two high school kids who decide to take the plunge into parenthood, and here's where things get a bit too glossy. Jenny comes from this cushy, well-to-do family where having a baby seems like just another item on the to-do list. Seriously, it's like they're stocking up on diapers next to the caviar. I'm not saying every movie needs to be a downer, but come on! In the real world, not every teen has a safety net made of money and supportive parents. The film kind of sends this weird message that it's all rainbows and butterflies when you're expecting a baby in high school, especially if you're financially stable. Newsflash: That's not how it goes for a lot of teenagers out there who might not have the same privileges.
Sure, it's a romantic comedy, but the topic at hand is a bit too serious to be sugarcoated, and it ends up feeling like it's living in an alternate universe. What's the deal with making it seem like having a baby in high school is just a minor inconvenience? For many teens, it's a life-altering event with real consequences. The film could have done better by shedding some light on the challenges rather than painting this rosy picture.
