Juno has been called the Little Miss Sunshine of the year; this was all I needed to get to the cinema to check it out.
It is a quirky comedy based around the pregnant teenager of the title, and the dilemma that she subsequently faces determining the unborn child’s future.
With a fantastic soundtrack that includes The Velvet Underground and Belle and Sebastian, Juno is a fantastic feel-good movie. It is perfectly paced, and Ellen Page deserves her Academy Award nomination for her lead performance. The deadpan delivery of her clever lines makes her the wisest character in the film. Michael Cera also deserves praise for his performance as the geeky-runner love interest. The script makes the whole thing tick along so well: the jokes are clever, and come thick and fast.
I came away from the cinema with my heart warmed and a smile on my face… thoroughly recommended.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
