    Juno

    Trailer

    Ellen Page stars as Juno (also the film’s title), a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker (Michael Cera). With the help of her hot best friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby), Juno finds her unborn child a “perfect” set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents (JK Simmons and Allison Janney) as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.

        I just actually watched the trailer. It looks hilarious and amazing at the same time. Hell yes.

                Oh, positive reviews.

                I was morbidly interested in watching this just because of Ellen Page (who was great in Hard Candy).

                Then I became really serious after reading an article about the writer (who happens to be a stripper. Crazy, eh?) and how she avoided loads of cliches and tried to stay true to life in the script. When she gave examples I was sold.
                "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                        As a die hard Arrested Development fan I'll be seeing this for sure. Ellen Paige was also great in Har Candy and one of the few things I liked about X3.

                          I saw it today. It's good in a sort of bittersweet way. The characters are interesting and the dialogue is clever. Ebert had it as his best film of 2007 (above No Country for Old Men) > I'd flip the two.

                            I am head over heels in love with Juno's character. I pray I meet someone like her in real life. Ellen Page herself is charming herself.

                              I have never actually seen her speak. But there is something about her that would make me believe she's charming.
