Juno Review

Ellen Page plays Juno, a sixteen year old girl who now is pregnant and decides that she can’t go through with abortion decides with a llittle help from her friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby) suggest giving it to a couple looking for a child in the penny savers. Through the penny savers she meets the perfect couple played by Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner. We follow Juno thought the step of pregnancy through the highs and lows till the big day.

The first thrity minutes (besides the animated opening credits, which I like) of Juno, I hated. I just didn’t liked the dialouge I felt like it was trying to be too quirky and that put me off. Then once it got up till the point after Juno and her father (played by J.K. Simmons) meet with the couple Juno plans on giving her child to. After that I fell right back into the movie with open arms and enjoyed the rest of the movie.

The Cast of Juno were all great for me Ellen Page was only OK, why the supporting cast (like J.K. Simmons, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner and Allison Janney) really did a good job. Is it me or does Micheal Cera have the same acting technique for all type of characters he plays. He acts the exactly like his characters from television show Arrested Development and his other movie Superbad.

Overall sitting down and watch Juno in the beginning I hated but once you get past that then its full sailing and everything fits in all together. From the acting to the original story of Juno it just seem so right. I recommend see this movie.
