Juno sounds like a comedy, but it does have some serious matters in it. This movie is about a 16 year old girl who becomes pregnant. The father is her friend. So this movie is also good because Juno turns away from abortion and decides to have the baby and give it away to a good family.

Juno pretends she doesn’t really care, but she still tries to find the perfect family which shows that inside she does care about the baby. So she finds a family that she thinks will be perfect. The couple had not been able to have a baby and the wife is desperate, but the husband pretends to want to be a father but doesn’t really care. Juno becomes good friends with the husband, but later the husband turns out to be a jerk and divorces his wife. Juno gives the baby to the wife anyways because she trusts her, Juno then decides to talk to the real father again and they start up their bond again. They realize that they still like each other and go out with each other.

A happy ending like this probably does not happen in real life situations. Most girls like this have abortions or the father wants nothing to do with her.
