Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2008)

It appears once again that FOX Searchlight pictures has found another winner in this indie as you may be like me and consider it similar to "Little Miss Sunshine" for the fact of it's central character is again a sassy and adorable female, yet both films are similar with coming of age tales of life. "Juno" is well written and very funny and most of the lines said from Ellen Page's Juno character are very witty and sassy with an intelligence that's so uncommon from a teenage girl. "Juno" also proves that life has it's growing pains with unexpected bumps and curves happen along the way before love and happiness is realized.
Ellen Page is fantastic in her performance of teenage girl Juno MacGuff a small town Minnesota girl who's a rock n' roll fan and slurp drinker who's equipped with a sharp and witty vocabulary that's bright and sassy, Juno always is a lighting rod of intelligence! So when Juno discovers she's pregnant from a one night stand and first sexual experience romp with boyfriend Paulie Bleeker(Michael Cera)a shy and boring yet successful cross country running track star she must think up of a plan to do! At first it appears the easy way out is to have an abortion. Juno then realizes a better solution give the child away when born to a successful and head straight couple. Enter Vanessa and Mark Loring who are played very sharp and beautifully by Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman respectively.
Soon little by little and when seasons change Juno begins her journey with each bump and trimester of getting to know and socialize more with the adoptive parents to be. Yet along the way as in life so many times unexpected road bumps and curves come up to throw your plan off. As Juno will find from the couple a spoil is in the works. Also during the time we see a young woman who has became at ease with herself and grown up to discover in the end her true love in Bleeker. As for the plan it ended a little different only half of the couple found parenthood, as the saying goes a gain of love for one a loss for the other.
As we see in the film though as Juno gives life to a happy Vanessa most important of all Juno has grown to give her life new meaning by growing up and finding what she wanted with love and learned how to make decisions. "Juno" is an excellent film even though it's a teen drama flick it's touching and it's about giving and taking and learning to grow up. The film also has a common everyday feel to it making it good. Plus the performance from Ellen Page is very intelligent, sassy, smart and over the top she's a real winner with a bright future. Also TV veterans J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney were tough and compassion felt as a loving father and straight up stepmother respectively. "Juno" is one feel good and sassy fun intelligent film to watch.
