Surprised!

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2009)

Once I saw the trailer, I did not want to see this film. In fact, I was reluctant even now to pick up this film. I am glad I did. This is just a great movie with something you might pick up on.
The story is about a small town girl named Juno. She and her best friend have sex in a chair and that gets Juno pregnant. Now she has to face the realities of teenage pregnancy and she must find loving parents for her child.
For a movie that expected to be an indie film, there are a lot of A-list actors and they were brilliant. I liked Ellen Page as the sarcastic Juno. Michael Cera is excellent as the nerdy boyfriend. I liked everyone else especially J.K Simmons, Jason Bateman, and Jennifer Gardner.
The music certainly adds to the mood of the film. Most of the songs are feel-happy songs. Basically, this movie is a feel-happy movie with an important message.
This is a great movie and a surprise box office hit. I rate this film 9/10.
