Juno informs her parents in a scene that decisively establishes how original this film is going to be. Her best girlfriend Leah (Olivia Thirby) suggests looking at the ads for adoptive parents in the Penny Saver: "They have 'Desperately Seeking Spawn,' right next to the pet ads."
But what to do with it? She believes she's too young to raise it herself. Of course she gets pregnant, and after a trip to an abortion clinic that leaves her cold, she decides to have the child. So rare to hear a movie applauded.Įllen Page plays Juno MacGuff, a 16-year-old girl who decides it is time for her to experience sex and enlists her best friend Paulie ( Michael Cera) in an experiment he is not too eager to join. So rare to feel the audience joined into one warm, shared enjoyment. So rare to hear it coming during moments of recognition, when characters reflect exactly what we'd be thinking, just a moment before we get around to thinking it. It is so rare to hear laughter that is surprised, unexpected and delighted. It is so very rare to sit with an audience that leans forward with delight and is in step with every turn and surprise of an uncommonly intelligent screenplay. But don't let my praise get in the way of sharing how much fun this movie is.
