I only watched because of Juno Temple otherwise I would not have bothered. So it starts with Juno who is working a boring desk job who then gets introduced to a small time record producer (Simon Pegg) who helps her kick start her music career and for the first 15 mins its promising as a foundation. Then the story changes where Simon's character gets off his medication for Schizophrenia and the rest of the movie is about mental health. It didnt start off about that and neither were you eased into it. The music plot quickly become secondary to the story, even at times irrevelant. In fact the whole of Juno storyline after 15mins becomes exclusively about Simon's character and she just becomes a passenger in the movie and she doesn't have much impact on anything thats happens and whatever she does doesn't matter as Simon is off on his own journey doing his own thing. Eventually we arrive at the end and nothing anyone did really mattered in the movie.
Simon Pegg's on meds persona was believable but his off meds persona I didn't believe and maybe that was above an actor of his calibre as he is seen as a comedy actor and something about his behaviour came across as forced stupid. Sometimes you have wonder why exactly Simon becomes Juno's probelm though and the validity of their connection because in the movie she hasn't known him that long. I didn't get why she was so invested in particular when he is off meds and his behaviour. You would run a mile whether he helped her or not. They were not in a relationship or related. All in all I would avoid this.
