A commercial film with more personality than most.

Rating: 9/10 (5 December 2011)

Juno was a rare surprise that made me quite impressed with director Jason Reitman. Reitman has marked himself as an intelligent filmmaker because he uses well-known stars such as Bateman and Garner so unconventionally and pairs them up with two talented young actors like Page and Cera, who both demonstrate great form here. Every actor is well-casted and Reitman hits the right notes through most of his storytelling. Juno is a character we might not want to like, but somehow she draws us in and not against our wishes. Warm comedy with insightful subject matter and Page wonderful in her breakthrough role as the pregnant girl.
