This movie was garbage.

In the first ten minutes, Dwight Shrute himself says something to the effect of "This ain't no Etch-o-Sketch, homeskillet. This is one doodle that can't be un-did. Your eggo is preggo."

I HATED the character Juno, too.

I read a review somewhere that says "For every moment in 'Knocked Up' that made you say 'That's exactly how people are!,' there's a moment in this movie that makes you think the opposite." It's just a movie of one-liners and oneupsmanship. There's little to no dialogue either, just vague pop culture references scattered throughout. There's a scene in the movie where Juno is going into labor and she belts out "THUNDERCATS ARE GOOOOO." The theatre erupted in thunderous laughter and applause. I wanted to vomit.

Maybe I was expecting too much, but if you're making a movie with a serious topic like teen pregnancy and make everything else entirely realistic then why do the characters have to talk like utter douchebags.

But everyone I talk to loves the movie, so go right the fuck ahead I guess.
