Brilliant dialog painfully cute

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2013)

Ellen Page is the funniest and cutest heroine ever to find herself up the duff in a clever and brilliantly executed piece of faux-indie product design that leaves me chastened with respect for the artists that made it. It is endlessly entertaining, fresh and insightful, original and witty, and not one piece of exploitation in the whole flick. Maybe some people feel that a feel-good movie about an accidental pregnancy where the girl does not suffer agonizing mental pain, where there is no sad and cruel life lesson, but in fact a logical and satisfying solution which leaves everybody intact, is some kind of sell- out? I don't see it myself. I see only a dazzling display of warmth and creativity that leaves me with a big dumb grin on my face. Oh and the music is super too.
