I actually liked it quite a bit
While not 100% realistic, I enjoyed the dialog and I enjoyed Allison Janey as the stepmother...she actually reminded me a little of my stepmother.

The scene I really loved that most people almost laughed at, was when Jennifer Garner feels Juno's belly in the mall. That expression on her face...I remember the feeling I had when I felt the first kick of my first child in my wife's belly. That rush of excitement and that moment of pure joy...those who've never experienced it themselves won't understand.

The film geek in me also got a kick out of the Dario Argento vs. HG Lewis debate (I'm in the Argento camp myself, but I love HG Lewis when he's splashing the screen with gallons of fake blood)
