"Juno" was one of the best independent films. Juno, played by Ellen Page, is a sixteen year old girl with the whole world ahead of hers. She is best friends with Paulie Bleeker, played by Michael Cera. One day they decided they wanted to lose their virginities together, and they do. Eventually, Juno gets pregnant. And she has to deal with being a teenage mother. She turns her to friend, Leah, played by Olivia Thirlby. She is forced to deal with the consequences of a teenage mother.
This film is very well made and it deserved many Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress. Ellen Page was extraordinary in this film because she was funny, and she really became a voice for every teenage mother out there. Michael Cera was very good also, e plays the awkward teen very well, I don't know what other roles he could play but his generic teen role is good for him. The director of this film Jason Reitman really nailed it in this film because he finally got pregnancy right in this film, instead of "Junior." This film really displays a teenage pregnancy perfectly becuase it showed how the father and mother of the baby were represented, and it also showed it takes a toll on their parents also. It was also beautifully casted with Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Allison Janney, J.K. Simmons, and Rainn Wilson. This is a film that is so hilarious and also great to see. GO SEE IT!
