There are comedies, there are the comedies with heart, and then there is Juno which could be referred to as either, but really deserves a class of its own.
The quick dialogue never comes out of context, and the way the cast manipulates Diablo Cody's great script is as refreshing as a dose of orange tic-tacs.
This movies has all kinds of laughs; those that are all out riots that cause the theatre to erupt as well as those that seem a bit more like an inside joke between you and the screen which make you chuckle to yourself. But despite all the jokes, this film still manages to deal delicately with the theme of teenage pregnancy. Juno may not know what kind of girl she is, but from the beginning she knows what she's not. In the end it a story of one girl's trust in the world, and ultimately honesty with one's self.
