I don't see the disconnect regarding her age to her personality and maturity. Some people are much more mature much earlier on. Look at the disposition of her parents in the movie. They aren't the overbearing type. They seem like the "live and let learn" type, which generally results in much more mature kids. My mom has a friend with a boy who is 10 or so. He's far more mature and comfortable with himself than most 20 year olds I know. By the time he's 16... he'll be much like Juno is portrayed... I'd bet on it.
At any rate, TM and I enjoyed the movie quite a bit. I thought it was sweet, funny and very well written and acted.
