Ellen Page took a page from "Trailer Park Boys"

Rating: 1/10 (25 June 2008)

Don't get me wrong, I hated the film. But Ellen Page was good. She took her entire performance and attitude from Mike Clattenberg's "The Trailer Park Boys", a Showcase series from Nova Scotia Canada. On this show, she was just a kid who played "Trina", the daughter of Jim Leahy. She slowly begins to adopt the ways, mannerisms and language of Ricky, a reprobate semi literate drug dealer and marijuana grower. She copied and played Ricki as Juno in the film. Other than that, the film sucked. It was dull and slow paced. The film had some nice moments when they let the viewer discover what was happening by providing mere snippets of what was really going on. Clever, but not enough to sustain the film. Juno's lover was played weakly by the same semi retarded kid from "Superbad". Just a dull film about a smart ass kid who got knocked up because she was bored and wanted "just to see". Pure crap.
