A wonderful treat

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2008)

Juno is to put it succinctly a delicious treat to be savoured & relished BUT not to be taken too seriously.
Diablo Cody in her first screenplay has written a wish-fulfillment tale of a pregnant teen ager & how she wonderfully copes with this.
Many things here really would not occur in a real situation.,BUT just imagine how wonderful life would be if all that occurred really did happen.
Understanding boy-friend,supportive parents & teachers, OH what a nice dream & I, that they too fell under its charm.
Jason Reitman (son of Ivan ) directed this & I feel his career will be as big as his fathers.
Ellen Page is Juno & she has deserved all the praise & rewards she has gotten.
Micheal Cera is a delight as her Romeo.
Jennifer Garner & Jason Batemen are very good as the prospective adoptive parents.
The wonderful Alison Janney is Juno's step-mom (near perfect step-mom).
J.K, Simmons is Juno's very supportive father, (a far cry from the sadist he was in HBO's OZ)is very good.
& one more kudo
Rainn Wilson in a cameo at beginning of film, another small gem from him.
The entire film was made in British Columbia, & is very beautiful to look at. There is also a very long song score, they I found enjoyable , at many lyrics had plot & story points.
This is a film nearly the entire family can see.parent may have some questions from the little one.
Re-stating this is a wish-fulfillment story, not to be confused with real life.
