“This is the most magnificent discarded living room set I have ever seen.”
I am not fancying over a couch or a derelict bin or any living room inanimate. By gosh I am not fancying over a piece of furniture! I am merely quoting a smart-mouthed Juno Mcguff, aged 16 who doesn’t realize she is 12weeks pregnant with fellow bandmate/friend/lover Bleeker’s child. “Juno” is a onehourfortysomething minutes film by director Jason Reitman with script by Diablo Cody and was exceptionally starred by (to name a few) Ellen Page (Juno), Michel Cera (Bleeker), Jason Garner (Vanessa Loring), Jason Bateman (Mark Loring). The film launches off in a one-liner confessional, a crestfallen Juno caught in an unwanted situation: “It all started with a chair” and then develops into a bumpy and sticky journey of a teenager (typical goth-cynic-freak) coping up with pregnancy; whether or not to undergo abortion “nip it in the bud” or go through the whole process and yet give it up in the end, hand it off like a piece of furniture perhaps to whoever is most willing. “Juno” is a smart and humorous film whose soundtrack is worth “lending an ear” for (Totally golden!:-B). No spoilers included. Just a few crumbs to keep you curious enough so you’ll have to check the movie out yourself.
