A lovely film

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2008)

I really enjoyed this film it was down to earth, easy going, entertaining and had a lot of tension. The only problem is that the end was a little forced otherwise there was a lot of suspense in the air as well as an interesting exploration of human relationships.
Ellen Page deserved to get an Oscar nomination for leading actress, she played her role magnificently.
I would certainly recommend this film but then again it's a matter of personal taste, many people didn't like it because they evaluate films from different angles looking for different things in them.
--------------------------SPOILERS FOLLOW------------------------------- All was fine with the plot except towards the end when Paulie suddenly and unexpectedly felt and accepted his responsibilities towards Juno whereas up to that point he kept her at a very safe distance, emotionally. That was the only thing that felt unnaturally rushed in the film it was not at all a convincing transformation though it produced at least a happy ending.
