JUNO

JUNO is one of the year's best films and sure to be one of the favorites for the 2007 Best Picture Oscar. The story revolves around a 16 year old girl who gets pregnant while in the 11th grade. The screenplay by Diablo Cody is fresh and original, wickedly funny, and perfectly in tune with its characters. The film is filled with characters you can relate to...who act and speak like real people. Ellen Page's portrayal of the title character will go down as one of the most memorable performances of the year. The movie is laugh-out-loud funny, but also funny, smart and sentimental...and not one bit of it is forced or artificial. JUNO improves upon the very very good KNOCKED UP as the year's best "raunchy romantic comedy with a heart of gold". I highly recommend this movie...its one of the year's best. 4 1/2 of 5 hs
