Juno was unwatchable for me. The extent to which it had any prolife inclinations was offset by a mouthy heroine who was the poster child for all obnoxious, know-it-all teenage morons.

It struck me differently. I thought the movie had a kind of stylized wittiness similar to the TV series Gilmore Girls, where most of the dialogue is just a little too clever to be true - not realistic, but (to me) entertaining and inoffensive. I guess the Juno character is a little smart-alecky, but basically a down-to-earth kid and not nearly as insufferable as many of the other teen characters in film or, indeed, in real life. Just my take, however.
