Juno's dialogue isn't unrealistic for her age. Unrealistic in general.

Nobody talks like that. No 40 year old or 16 year old. Honestly, Ellen Page delivered that type over-the-top dialogue better than the gas station cashier played by Dwight fom the office. It felt really unnatural when he called her "McGuff the crime dog" and "fertile Mertyll".

Agreed. Her banter reminds one of some 40 year old dude who is really impressed with his command of pop culture references. It completely unbelievable for a 16 year old girl.

Ironic that her banter sounds like the pretentious attitudes you see posting on IMDB.

- I reply, and then I'm gone.

Thank you! I just got finished posting about that. The sarcastic one liners were as irritating as her face. I found Juno's best friend to be a more realistic teenager-silly, immature, horny and funny.
