Juno is about a sixteen year old high school girl who gets pregnant after her first time of having sex. Being in this situation, she initially opted for abortion but chicken out and decides to find a couple to adopt her baby. I never expected this movie to be this funny and I actually loved it.
I think one of the "coolest thing" about Juno's condition was that, she has her family to back her up. But please don't get me wrong, I am not saying that teenage pregnancy is okay but in this movie, she was able to pull through with this - with the help of her family and best friend.
Another thing I love about this movie is the endless witty, sarcastic quips and humerous remarks. Hilarious! One of my favorite lines is when the very preggy Juno comes home quite upset and her dad said something like "Hey big-puffy-version-of-Junebug." Oh, I am telling you there are a lot of quips like this in the movie.
Ellen Page as Juno, played the character really well - enough for her to get an Oscar nomination for this. And of course, the other actors like Michael Cera (I loved him in Superbad!), Olivia Thirlby (as Juno's best friend), Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman (as the adoptive parents of Juno's baby), J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney (as Juno's cool parents) were just as awesome.
Give yourself a treat (forget about the ZTE scandal for awhile, please) and watch this comedy flick as this does not rely on some fart, cheap jokes.
So there. *wink
