Juno

Okay, I have been on a movie binge. But when you have no money and your mom doesn't want to give you drinking money, she'll pay for some moving picture entertainment.



Juno stars Ellen Page as Juno MacGuff. A wise cracking, know-it-all 16 year-old who accidentally becomes pregnant. After searching through her options, Juno decides to have the baby and give it up for adoption to thirty-something couple, Vanessa and Mark (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman).



But that's just the beginning. The audience follows Juno through her pregnancy and her struggle to figure out what she wants and who she is while going through one of the most challenging experiences of her life. She searches for love in Paulie (Michael Cera), the boy who impregnated her and whom no one thinks of as capable of filling in his own space.



J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney shine as Juno's supportive dad and step-mom.

The movie is filled with sharp, witty dialogue which is sometimes difficult to believe as realistic coming from a character in high school. In addition to the dialogue, the situations, people and places the movie takes the audience are a delight. This is a movie that really tugs at the heart! ***A***
