his virginity Anger Management deal with a man who gets sentenced to

anger management with an angry therapist.

school. Both main characters are a little dorky. In the end someone finds love. Plus, they both show that things are notalways what you expect them to be.

message they send is similar, like opposite sides. Juno shows teenage pregnancy and what a girl has to deal with,

especially in high school. Whereas American Pie show a what it can be like to be a guy in high

school who just wants to have sex, but maybe that’s not all there is?

What’s the same? Both, in diff erent ways,

show that nothing is perfect, but something are more so than you might think.
