If you see one pregnancy comedy all year see Juno.
The movie is about Juno (Ellen Page) who's awkward one-time chair tryst, becomes the stuff after school specials are made of.
Her boyfriend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera) doesn't know what to do, neither does she, but she hides it through a snarky-dry Midwestern sarcasm.
Page and Cera are both perfect for their roles. It may be a long shot, but Page should get an Oscar nod for the role. She is that good.
Juno, is Knocked up for smart people. The subject can get crass, but its handled with well timed one-liners.
The movie is seriously light-hearted. There are some hefty emotional moments, but they aren't forced, its all natural.
Plus, the ending is really sweet.
Juno, is in limited release. Catch it at your neighborhood arthouse theater if you can.
