Wait, wait, wait…Juno glamorized teen pregnancy? Did I completely miss the point of that movie?

I can see how Juno can be seen as glamorizing teen pregnancy.

Plus, the movie wouldn't have worked if the cast wasn't "cutesy" (and white). It was reaching a target audience that isn't disproportionately impacted by teen pregnancy. That's why the movie and whatever message it has was allowed to appear watered down and "cool" to some.

Doh, you quoted me pre-edit. The only thing that I found cutesy/watered down about Juno was the parent’s reaction to the pregnancy. They took it really well. Interesting fact about Juno…it was written by a stripper.
