i had this bitter-sweet feeling. On one hand it was bitter because if you think about it carefuly, it's a real tragedy. having a baby when you're sixteen is really difficult and even more for a girl like Juno who doesn't seem prepared at all. But sweet, on the sexy lingerie other hand, because of this relation between her and Pauline, because of the way her parents react which is amazing. This bitter-sweet feeling this movie provokes is really unique and great and makes this movie so special
