Juno [Blu-ray Disc]
Somewhere between the sharp satire of Election and the rich human comedy of You Can Count On Me lies Juno, a sardonic but ultimately compassionate story of a pregnant teenage girl who wants to give her baby up for adoption. Social misfit Juno (Ellen Page, Hard Candy, X-Men: The Last Stand) protects herself with a caustic wit, but when she gets pregnant by her friend Paulie (Michael Cera, Superbad), Juno finds herself unwilling to terminate the pregnancy. When she chooses a couple who place a classified ad looking to adopt, Juno gets drawn further into their lives than she anticipated. But Juno is much more than its plot; the stylized dialogue (by screenwriter Diablo Cody) seems forced at first, but soon creates a richly textured world, greatly aided by superb performances by Page, Cera, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman as the prospective parents, and J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man) and Allison Janney as Juno's father and stepmother. Director Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking) deftly keeps the movie from slipping into easy, shallow sarcasm or foundering in sentimentality. The result is smarter and funnier than you might expect from the subject matter, and warmer and more touching than you might expect from the cocky attitude. Page's performance is deceptively simple; she never asks the audience to love her, yet she effortlessly carries a movie in which she's in almost every scene. That's star power. --Bret Fetzer more

My husband and I rented this on a rainey Saturday night, not expection that great of a film, but my daughter gave it such great reviews. I have to say that Ellen Page is the actress that made this film better than a TV movie. She played...

Regarding 17 Teens' Pregnancy Pact, Most by Homeless Man
Posted by evette
I?m sure you all heard this story over the weekend because it is just so sad and ridiculous!? They are all no older than 16 amp; seemed to make the decision to get pregnant no matter who the father has to be, based on...what...peer pressure?? Who are the parents of these chicks? I watched a video from AP Press and apparently some people think Juno is to blame. I happened to watch Juno again this week on DVD and it doesn?t make teenage pregnancy look great at all.
