teen romance

• High School Musical directed by Kenny Ortega (2006)

  [5/10]

  "It can happen -- a made for TV movie from Disney that doesn't suck. In fact High School Musical does a pretty good job at providing snappy songs, occasionally interesting choreography, and a less than lame plot."

• Juno directed by Jason Reitman (2007)

  [8/10]

  "Juno does a good job at portraying a particular girl's experience with teen pregnancy, although I don't think you can extend this portrait much beyond Juno's character since she has more self-confidence and personal determination than most adults."

  Average score: 6.50
