Re: Juno

...well, Juno and Knocked Up are similar in that they both deal with pregnency and...well that's about it. I have my own issues with Knocked Up, and didn't find it to be nearly as good as most people did. Most of the comparisons stemmed from the fact that, as I said, one was looking at it from the more male perspective, the other from the female. The fact that one was written by a guy (Judd Apatow) and the other by a lady (Diablo Cody, who is someone who I really should look into more, since she seems really interesting as a person, and for her first screenplay its some pretty impressive work) probably furthered that sort of contrast.

But no, they are really nothing alike. The word that describes the kind of humor Juno uses that has been thrown around, and I mostly agree with, is "quirky;" whereas Knocked Up didn't really have a clear comedic styling, which is where my main complaint with it lies.
