REVIEW: Juno

Synopsis:

Juno (Ellen Page) is a Mid-Western highschooler, who decides one day, out of boredom or curiosity, to have sex with her friend Bleeker (Michael Cera), a member of her school's track team. She likes him well enough, but isn't hung up on him. This one time encounter results in Juno's pregnancy. She and her best friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby) decide to take control of the situation by browsing for prospective adoptive parents in the local Pennysaver, and Juno settles on seemingly perfect, affluent couple Mark and Vanessa (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner.) (IMDB.com)

My Review:

I would say it is a cross between Knocked Up and Little Miss Sunshine. Ellen Page is very clever and fast spoke. Michael Cera pulls off the same award teen that has no clue on what’s going on. Best Comedy I have scene in a long time. I will pulling for Juno at the Oscars by the way it was that good.
