Movie Review: Juno (2007)

(This review contains no significant spoilers.)

Alison and I saw Juno a coupletwothree weeks ago. The film follows a high-school girl (Juno) who has discovered that she's pregnant as she decides what to do about her situation.

Here's what I liked:

• Ellen Page is excellent as Juno, and I also enjoyed Michael Cera as the father of Juno's baby, and Olivia Thirlby as Juno's best friend.
• The script is very clever and quite funny. Juno's dialog is especially enjoyable.
• Juno's decision whether to keep the baby, give it up, or abort it is not cast in political terms; it's just her personal choice.
• The music really adds to the film.
  

Here's what I didn't like:

• I honestly can't think of anything I strongly disliked about this film.

Overall, I give it 7.5 stars out of 10. If a funny movie about a teenage unwed mother sounds like something you'd might be interested in, go see it.
