Synopsis:
Juno may seem wise beyond her years, but after sleeping with classmate Bleeker, the pregnant teen quickly realizes how little she really knows about life. Thankfully, Juno has been blessed with parents who trust their daughter's judgment, and a best friend named Leah, who's always willing to help out in a pinch. With a little help from Leah, Juno soon comes into contact with Mark and Vanessa -- an affluent suburban couple who have been unable to conceive a child of their own. Mark and Vanessa seem like they would make great parents, and are eager to adopt Juno's unborn child. Now, as adolescent Juno is faced with a series of very adult decisions, she will draw on the support of her family and friends in order to discover who she truly is, and discover that one bad choice can have a lifetime of consequences.

Review:
I saw Juno back when it came out in December and I couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD. After watching the movie again, I was reminded of how great it was. Ellen Page's character is incredibly spunky, outgoing, selfless, and confident. It's great to see how this film portrays such a serious situation like teen pregnancy. The humor and attitude combined in this film helps make a rather bland plot something that stands out amongst the crowd. This is a good film for anyone to see and I definitely recommend renting it on DVD.
Critics Rating: 8/10
