Some may feel skeptical whether this will turn out as just another teenage comedy that once flooded our movie screens. The answer is definitely a big NO! Imagine a toned down Katherine Heigl's Knocked Up, blended with a tint of artsy directorial skills, very amusing lines for Ellen Page, and folky soundtrack. In all, that sums up to a consludion: Juno is quite movie of its kind, and definitely not even close to Knocked Up, talking about a quirky-geeky-cool teenage girl experimenting sex and getting pregnant. Skip the disastrous aftermath and drop-dead shock scenes because these did not happen. The storyline could be quite expected since with the word "pregnancy", you can either get a life is killed or saved. However the spotlight of this story is that , but the characters that are very amusing instead. Juno and his open-minded parents with a sense of humour, then her cheerleader friend that is not close to typical dumb-blonde at all: why should you miss this. Last but not least, Juno is played by Ellen Page, the creepy little girl from Hard Candy. You know, "that" girl!
Since this movie is from the director of Thank You For Smoking, we can very much expect nothing less than a good movie, and this time, with a good soundtrack.
Instead of the ordinary Juno's poster, I would rather use this poster that really gives me a laugh.
Let me know if you have watched it. If not, get a taste of it with the trailer here.
