Wonderful Cast and Writing!

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2007)

Last night, I finally got to see Juno, which I had been looking forward to for maaaany months, as I am a big fan of Michael Cera. Now I realize just how much of an amazing actress Ellen Page is! I still need to see Hard Candy, even though I know the character will be so different, but she really blew me away. Her lines alone carried enough of the dry, sardonic flavor of the film to temper the perfect amount of winsome sweetness, which is present mostly in the last third of the movie. The character of Juno's father is also a standout, and a totally realistic portrayal of how a loving father would react to the situation. The final couple of scenes are incredibly affective, as well, and had more than just me shedding a few tears. I can't wait to see it again! Junoverse ID #1446.
