Juno

JUNO (2007) - Sept. 10, 2007
An enjoyable comedy about a sixteen year old girl who finds out that she's pregnant, and decides to give the baby to a couple she finds in a newspaper. The film is actually quite funny, and features an engaging lead performance from Ellen Page, who couldn't be more different than she was in Hard Candy. Michael Cera is a scene stealer as her would-be boyfriend, and Jason Reitman's direction is pretty good for the most part (though the choice of music in many parts seems like it's chosen more for what will make a "cool" soundtrack, rather than how it complements the visuals). ***
