oh....those witty teenagers

I have been looking forward to seeing JUNO for months, and happily, I wasn't disappointed when I finally got to check it out. JUNO tells the story of Juno, a 16 year-old who finds herself pregnant, and unsure of what to do. Exploring her options, she considers adoption to a lovely couple played by (the always fabulous) Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman. The father of the baby, Michael Cera, tries to keep up with Juno, unsure of where their relationship stands. Add into the equation the fabulous Allison Janney and JK Simmons as Juno's supportive-ish parents, and you have the recipe for a funny and sweet comedy. Much has been made of the script, which has many great moments, although I found that every once in a while it got a little too precocious for me, and I look forward to seeing more of Cody Diablo's work, the former stripper who penned it. Ellen Page is a force to be reckoned with as Juno, bringing both freshness and weariness to the pregnant and confused teen.

Final thoughts: Love the people, love the idea, a good time to be had at the theatre...although, you could rent this one, and not lose the charm.
