I was dying to see this movie as we did a lot stuff at school on Juno and the whole teen pregnancy thing in my media class and really wanted to see if this movie added the "hype" about pregnancy that the media is always talking about. I was mistaken. If your expecting awesome characters with a bubbly cute and cool storyline this one is not for you but at the same time it does dive right into the teen pregnancy and high school issues while still being able to quickly brush over the main points. In the beginning, the movie starts off in a little high school in a tight-knit community that does not provide birth control and girls in certain cliques want to be pregnant and have a baby whether the boyfriend or guy wants to or not. A reporter comes back to her home town as a rapid number of teen pregnancies spikes interest for her teen web page. Then the notion of a "pact" between a group of girls comes out and becomes the hottest topic of the week in the end the reporter tries to help the girls in the so called "pact", causes a bit of trouble and eventually finds out the real truth. In my opinion I was a bit disappointed with the movie but found it quite interesting as it follows a slight documentary type feel and can actually make you think. I also like the fact that after the first girl has her baby the movie was able to show her in pain and regretting having the baby and not loving the child and really struggling being a parent, giving the young girls watching the movie the actual fact that teen pregnancy is not fun and all cute little babies and laughs.
