 This is fresher than orange tic-tacs!!!!!!! July 31, 2008

Ellen Page does a stand up stand out job as Juno. Man I love this type of humour it kind of reminds me of Ellen Muth in the Dead Like Me series. Its not fall out of your seat slapstick comedy, its way more tounge in cheek but I tend to like that style of comedy. Its is well written and the dialouge is fantastic. Great movie, great cast, watch this movie.
GOOD MOVIE July 27, 2008
JUNO
I always seem to catch movies after they are done being super popular -- but this movie always will be popular, as it is well done and very good. Loved the acting. Ellen Page was super; she is cute, and her character was funny, quirky, and different. She knew she was different and it didn't bother her.
The acting of Allison Janney and J. K. Simmons as Juno's parents was superb. They were also funny, supportive, and when told Juno is pregnant, they were really calm!!! Too calm? Had my young daughter come to me and told me she was pregnant, I would not have handled it as calmly and well as the MacGuff's did. Perhaps they are better people than I am? Anyway, I would have totally supported my daughter and been there for her every step of the way -- however, I KNOW I would have totally freaked out when told the news. Maybe that is just me --
What I didn't enjoy about the movie was how Juno -- at first -- seemed uneffected by being pregnant. How she referred to the baby as IT -- how she seemed to have no restrictions in her young life.
What I liked about the movie was how, after a while, Juno wanted to find the PERFECT and RIGHT family for her baby. I liked how Juno could not get an abortion. I liked how her family stood by her and were there for her. I liked that Juno cried after she gave birth and gave the baby up.
I would think this movie does not sensationalize getting pregnant young. I think this movie was entertaining and full of good points; showing young girls that being pregnant and having a child is a huge commitment; one they need to be ready for. Juno did show this and was also entertaining and had some good family values. Being there for each other is so important, right?
I would recommend JUNO and am glad that I FINALLY sat down and watched it! Ellen Page is one good actress and I hope we see more of her.
Thank you!

Ellen Page Makes "Juno" a Great Film July 27, 2008

Ellen Page plays Juno MacGuff, a teenager who becomes pregnant by her high school boyfriend whom she reluctantly denies that she loves. Juno is faced with the task of trying to decide whether to have an abortion or give her unborn child up for adoption. But ends up deciding to give up her baby for adoption and goes about finding the perfect parents to adopt her unborn child.
Juno Macguff isn't your average teenage beauty involved in sports, cheerleading & so on... She's into music and is funny in a dry/witty/dark humor kind of way.... Ellen Page plays the character perfectly and is in fact, the best actor in the movie! I think Ellen Page will remain on the acting scene for a long time with her talent.
Anyway, "Juno" is definitely a different sort of coming of age story and a good one at that.
Wonderful movie July 26, 2008
Just when you think there won't be any new, fresh movies, one will appear!!! Juno is one of these. It is not a sequel or a remake. It is a delightful, warm, poignant movie - very real.
Laughter and tears. July 22, 2008

This quirky teen focused comedy/drama has a plethora of witty dialogue and diverse personalities. Very well written story about a young girl trying to do what's best for her and her unborn infant when her spontaneous behavior leads to an unwanted pregnancy. A heartwarming coming-of-age tale that adults will also enjoy.
