Juno: Juno St
built 189 days ago
Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody used to be a stripper. She's articulate, attractive, and not in the least bit press shy. Young Canadian actress Ellen Page, who already made her own waves last year with Hard Candy, is ... enormously appealing. She's pretty and tiny and delivers Cody's super hip dialogue with just the right amount of offhand understatement. They are a winning combo, and the buzz for Jason Reitman's second film has been almost deafening.

Juno gets surprisingly solid support from her gruff dad and dog-loving stepmom (J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney, both terrific), as well as her equally snarky best friend (Olivia Thirlby). Increasingly, though, she is drawn to her adoptive yuppies. The husband's validation of her eccentric taste in music and horror movies is attractive, possibly in a creepy way. But the movie, directed by Thank You for Smoking's Jason Reitman from a first-time script by Diablo Cody, keeps your loyalties shifting.

Strikingly written by newcomer Diablo Cody, Juno will get a lot of attention for its colorful dialogue, which is at times too ostentatious for its own good, but the film's sincerity is what ultimately carries it across. Set in the indie town of Quirksville, U.S.A.—Cody and director Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking) go a little overboard in this regard—the film opens with Page burning through pregnancy tests, trying to shake off a "plus" sign as if, the store clerk says, she were handling an Etch-A-Sketch. She initially considers an abortion, but instead decides to give the baby up for adoption, with the consent of its perpetually thunderstruck father Michael Cera. Page finds a willing couple in yuppies Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman, but as she perhaps unwisely insinuates herself into their lives, she discovers some fissures in their marriage.

The thing that separates "Juno" from so many other films about teen pregnancy is that, in this case, the 16-year-old who finds herself in that predicament refuses to become a victim of her circumstances. From the moment she confirms the unwelcome news, Juno studies her options - abortion, raising the child as a single teen parent, adoption - then takes matters into her own hands. Like the Roman goddess who is her namesake, Juno is a bright, often sharp-tongued individual who prides herself on her observant cynicism and her way with a sarcastic quip. However, she's not above appealing to the adults in her life when the problems of the world get to be too much for her (though, in some cases, the grownups are coping with more serious issues than she is). Yet, Juno makes certain that it is she and she alone who will have the final say when it comes to determining the course of her own future and that of her child.
