Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2012)

Juno The budget for this film was $7,500,000. It was released in 2007 in the USA but 2008 in the UK and runs for 96 minutes. Juno is about a young 16-year-old girl, called Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page), she falls pregnant from her best friend Paulie Bleeker (Micheal Cera). Juno must decide what to do with the unborn child. She decides to let her baby go and looks for foster parents with her friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby). The adoptive parents seem to be perfect, Juno gets carried away with how good they seem to be, and starts invading their personal space. Everything seems to be fine and sorted out, yet the adoptive father (Mark Loring (Jason Bateman)) breaks the deal and leaves the wife, this has a very large emotional impact on Juno, and she goes to her friend Paulie for help. Juno is a very bright and colourful film; its intentions are not to be realistic, or have a dark atmosphere, but to appeal to a wider audience by making the film less localised. The soundtrack in this film is all-acoustic, it feels as if the songs are not edited and the lyrics usually tell a story.
Ellen Page played the role very well, Micheal Cera was funny and added a very lightening view to the story.
