A Delightful Movie That Delves Into Dangerous Waters

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2008)

Teenage pregnancy is still a taboo subject in American society today, we all know it. This movie sheds a light onto a relatively unexplored topic.
The main character Juno is a 16 year old who engages in some promiscuous activities and ends up pregnant. The story follows her from the beginning until she gives birth.
That is not the point of this review though, the main point is to reveal what is hidden by the previews, the utterly amazing soundtrack with the wit and sarcasm that is prevalent throughout the entire movie. From the main character to her friends and her parents, it helps show that teenage pregnancy is not all bad and there can be a happy ending. The adoptive parents angle shows another type of scenario that ends up for the best in the movie.
This movie is a must see film and should win awards. There are very few Fox Searchlight Picture films that are this good, and as long as you can stay open to the idea of teenage pregnancy and not judge it for the content matter you will be able to enjoy this film for what it is, a humorous film with outstanding performances by the cast.
