Can ‘Baby Borrowers’ Undo the ‘Juno’ Effect?: Remember how cute Ellen Page was in Juno? All spunky and adorable and, you know, pregnant? Who wouldn't want to be just like her? And wouldn't it be awesome if all your friends were like that too? You could talk for hours on your hamburger phones about morning sickness and baby names and the like. Sigh. Well, as you may have heard, some high schoolers in Gloucester, Massachusetts, made the dream a reality — by making a (now-denied) pact to get pregnant together. "Some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were," principal Joseph Sullivan told Time. Debate unsurprisingly is raging about the "Juno effect" — i.e., did Hollywood make these girls think pregnancy is fun and fabulous? (No way, says Juno actor-but-not-really-"actor" Jason Bateman.) Luckily, here comes The Baby Borrowers to deglamorize parenthood all over again!
