Pretty much as good as you've heard

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2008)

Everyone likes Juno, don't they? I don't think I've heard a bad word said about it  and I'm not about to spoil that run. Was it Oscar-worthy? No, I'd say not  it's touch was a bit too light and the performances a little too studied in the attempts to be indie/cool, but it is a touching and sweet little comedy with great performances all round (I particularly liked Ellen Page and Jason Bateman) which managed to come across as not being judgemental despite the situations it covers (pregnancy, abortion, adoption, divorce, etc), rather simply portraying some interesting and vaguely kooky people with nice teeth in a tricky situation. Nice, exactly like the reviews said.
