Who knew teenage pregnancy could be so funny? Ellen Page shines in Diablo Cody’s sharply written script about teenage angst, rebellion, love, and growing up. Juno constantly has other films compared to it, which generally creates an anti-hype with some circles who are ‘too cool’ to like anything mainstream, but hyped or not one can’t deny how tightly it has its finger on the pulse of the youth of the 21st century. It really is one of a rare few films to show teens in an independent light away from the horrible cliches that usually riddle high school films, (particularly my biggest pet peeve in generic teen bedroom set dressing.) But like any endearing comedy, Juno has heart.
