Promoting Teen Pregnancy Since 2007
Juno
is one of my favorite movies of all times (alright, I have hundreds of these but still). This movie is fueled with classic lines and indie acoustic music. Diablo Cody (the screenwriter) and I share a certain sense of sarcasm. I find Juno to be one of the most clever and hilarious comedies ever written. Forget about those dumb teen movies that make you want to choke yourself to death. It takes a minimum smartness level to appreciate Juno. Far be it from me to seem condescending (I swear!) but you won't find tigers in hotel rooms or crude behaviors in this movie. So if this is what makes you laugh, move along! This film is a mature comedy dealing with the dynamics of marriage, teen pregnancy and abortion. In other words, this movie offers a different view on real life topics. The cast is terrific. Ellen Page makes an absolutely perfect Juno and is the reason why the soundtrack is so rad
. In addition to the young Canadian, you'll watch a plethora of talented actors in action. Allison Janney and J.K. Simmons are Juno's parents and my personal favorites apart from the pregnant teen. Michael Cera is the father of the baby-to-be and Jason Bateman is the wannabe-rockstar and future adoptive dad who is married to Jennifer Garner's control-freak character. You laugh from one end to the other. The best part might be that the plot is totally credible and could happen to anyone. The writer turns the sensitive and depressive issue of teen pregnancy into the funniest movie I've seen. And it all happens in middle-class Minnesota on a genius music background and the coolest credits artwork.
