Words Cannot Describe It

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2008)

From the studio that brought us Little Miss Sunshine comes the story of Juno, a slightly dramatic yet extremely funny comedy about life and the "bumps" along the way. Juno stars Ellen Page as Juno MacGuff, a regular teenager who gets pregnant after a wild night with her best friend. Juno explores the subject of teen pregnancy from top to bottom, and it never disappoints.
Juno gives us just what we want from a movie about teenage pregnancy: great characters, great music, and a brilliant cast. The writing of this movie is just perfect. The characters are so believable that it makes you wonder if this event actually took place. Michael Cera, Juno's best friend, is just perfect for the role of the caring lover. It makes you wonder if he is really good at acting or if he is the exact same kind of teenager he portrays.
Another thing that adds to the sheer greatness of this movie is its soundtrack. The music is wonderful from start to finish. The Cinematography of this film is worth mentioning. Although not outstanding, it was good from start to finish as well. The only thing that was bad about the movie was the way it was carried out. The intro was very typical of a Sundance Film, the music was very typical for a Sundance film, and the setting of it was also very typical for a Sundance film.
One of the things that jumps out when watching Juno is the type of pain many young mothers have to go through when they are pregnant. Not only must they withstand ridicule and mockery but go through the pain of carrying that child for nine months. The acting in these parts of the film bring out genuine feelings of pain and sadness that makes you think twice before you take part in any sexual activities.
If you enjoy humorous and realistic films, Juno is definitely the movie for you. It will draw you in and keep you enchanted until the very end. You will fall in love with the cast, and find yourself full of compassion for all the characters. From its superb music to its outstanding cast, Juno is flawless until the very end.
