This film was directed by Jason Reitman and is about a sixteen-year-old girl and her decisions following an unplanned pregnancy.
The first scene frankly tells us that poor sixteen-year-old Juno is pregnant after she tells the viewers the story of how she had sex with her friend Paulie (Michael Cera) from their rock band. The rest of the film deals with Juno’s decision to eventually have her child and to give it up for adoption to a competent couple that she meets and the bumps that happen to her along the way.
Overall, I thought that the movie was good. The acting by Ellen Page is quite brilliant. She brings a very realistic feel to the film and carries every scene effortlessly it seems. The film also has an exceptional soundtrack to it. The film is very moving because it feels like such a real situation with the cynical attitude of Juno and the sense of confusion shown with every thought spoken by Paulie. I would say that Juno may have some of the finest acting of 2007 and that you should go see it if you have the time.
