Jason Reitman has delivered a winning indie,

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2007)

Jason Reitman, (who gave us one of my favorite satires of all-time "Thank You for Smoking") directs a very different comedy, about teenage pregnancy.
Ellen Page is Juno, who just found out that her pregnancy test isn't an etch-a-sketch and that she really is pregnant. Page easily delivers the best performance of the movie and just maybe the year. Fresh off from Superbad, Micheal Cera is also Oscar-worthy as Paulie Bleeker, the best friend to Juno, and is also the future dad of Juno Jr. Previous The Kingdom stars Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman play as the Lorings, the young, educated and some-what creepy couple that wants to adopt Juno's future baby, are also played very well.
I must only give this 8 out of 10 because of two major factors, despite phenomenal dialogue written by stripper to blogger to screenwriter Diablo Cody, I thought that she didn't write enough lines for Juno's dad, Mac MacGruff (brilliantly played by J.K. Simmons.) Also, I think this might have just have been me but Page and Bateman's relationship on screen just creeped me out.
