Reading Reviews About JUNO

[nursedoa]

This quote from A.O. Scott's review of Juno in The New York Times really bothers me,

"Juno" also shares with "Knocked Up" an underlying theme, a message that is not anti-abortion but rather pro-adulthood. It follows its heroine - and by the end she has earned that title - on a twisty path toward responsibility and greater self-understanding.

Seriously, because birthing and/or raising a child TOTALLY turns someone into a responsible person.

Yes, there are so many reasons why this quote is particularly irksome.

Yeah, skip it. It will work just as well on the small screen if your change you mind.
