Well, to begin with, i'm a somewhat obsessed fan of Ellen Page so going into this film i was already too excited to speak. I expected the film to be a wonderful movie but nothing too life changing. I went to a promotional screening in Atlanta last night and i have to say that i was overwhelmed with how much i liked it. Every time i think of the film i smile and want to watch it again, right now, but can't because it's not readily available to me. I have decided that JUNO is my most favorite film of all time. AND THAT IS SAYING A LOT!!!
The film begins with a chair.
Juno(Ellen Page) is standing in a random front yard drinking a gallon of SunnyD, staring at a chair and contemplating the situation she's in; that all started with a sexual encounter with her friend and band mate Paulie Bleeker(Michael Cera, Comedy GOD). She then ventures through a beautiful opening credit sequence to a convenience store to take her 3rd pregnancy test of the day. The plus sign once again appears and the shenanigans begin.
After deciding against an abortion she finds a rich couple looking to adopt a child. The Lorrings, Mark and Vanessa(Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner) are the seemingly perfect recipients of Juno's unborn child. But the dysfunctions that are beneath the service may change Juno's mind about them.
The film is wonderful. Ellen Page gives the best performance of her career, so far. Diablo Cody, the writer of Juno, is going to be one of my favorites in years to come, i'm sure of it.The director of the film Jason Reitman(director of Thank You For Smoking) proves himself, at least in my mind, as one of the best directors out there. The two films that he's directed are so different, story wise and in the over all look and tone.
JUNO is my most favorite film ever. Go see it on December 14 when it opens.
