Impressive and touching

Rating: 7/10 (18 April 2008)

Juno Macguff is a sixteen year old teenage girl who faces unexpected pregnancy and makes absurd decisions regarding her unborn baby.
This is an exceptional film. A movie like this comes once or twice every year. A low budget and subtle movie but then becomes exponentially popular.
At first I had low expectations for this movie and it was for reasons. One reason is that the cast is fledgling and the second and main reason was because of who wrote it (no offense).
But seeing it winning an academy award and hearing all the hype about it led me to finally give it a shot. And boy, was I wrong about this movie. I was in a complete awe. What makes Juno exceptional is the fact that the main character, though facing many problems both internal and external, manages to fix a smile on her face and acts as if the whole thing was just a joke. Many other pictures with the same tone of teenage pregnancy all have one aim, and that is to show the audience the darker side of teenage pregnancy and possibly try to make us cry and no laughs.
however, in the case of Juno, the main character, Juno, was both hilarious and the audience felt sorry for her at the same time. There were lots of laughs, sarcasm, and indeed sobs.
