"A comedy about growing up... and the bumps along the way."

Juno (2007)
Directed by jason Reitman, rated Pg-13, 96 minutes

Juno is an unpredictable and delightfully quirky independent comedy about a teenage girl who begins on the odd journey of her unplanned pregnancy with her awkward boyfriend. Ellen Page is completely lovable as Juno, but it's the supporting cast, including the hilarious Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman and J.K. Simmons, that holds the film together. The dialogue can border on annoying at times, but the well written characters and the solid acting keep the film entertaining to it's interesting ending. Juno is a smart and enjoyable film that's held back by it's desire to be popular and indie, but is still pretty good. You'll like it if: You like indie comedies, Ellen Page, Little Miss Sunshine or Thank You for Smoking.
