<div class="posttitle">On "Juno"</div>

<p>The people who are of the opinion that this film is trying to be "too hip" are totally missing the point.  Yes, Juno is too hip for her own good, but the whole point of this is to set up a parallel between her and Jason Bateman's character.  Juno and Bateman are really on the same path and I think the whole point of the film is that Juno realizes just how frivolous her current path is.  Yes, she could continue as she is on her "honest to blog" path but she realizes in the end that isn't how she want's to end up.  She could follow the more childish path but unlike Bateman she has realized that that path will bring her nothing but heartbreak.  No matter how "square" she may have found Garner's character to be in the beginning, she realizes that that kind of love is what is needed to raise a child in this world.</p>
