Juno MAG
“Juno” is made up of equal parts hilarity and compassion, satire and seriousness. It brings together completely different genres and shows that they can coexist without becoming overdone or ridiculous.
“Juno” tells the endearing story of Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page), an offbeat 16-year-old who must face the reality of being pregnant. Armed with the support of preppy friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby), overwhelmed parents Bren (Allison Janney) and Mac (J.K. Simmons), and best friend/ father of the baby, Paulie (Michael Cera), she decides to give her child to a childless couple she finds in the local classifieds.
“Juno” is heartfelt and real, not glorifying teenage pregnancy but instead showing how people can make it through even the scariest of situations with the help of friends and family.
Chock full of witty one-liners, nonsensical jargon that’s amusing even if you’re not sure what they’re saying, and a cast that’s talented beyond their years, let it be said that if you’re only going to see one film this year, make it “Juno.” You’ll probably laugh, you’ll probably go “aww,” but you’ll definitely leave the theater feeling good
