Juno, Juno, Juno. What can I say about this movie? Well, I would start with saying that it is awesome. Fo shiz! I was hooked from the very first minute (well, after the intro was done anyway). Gripping AND hilarious, Juno actually made me laugh out loud, something I hardly ever do when I’m at the cinema. Actually I can’t even remember the last time, if there ever was one.
It all started with a chair… The story revolves around 17 year old Juno, who gets pregnant after having sex with her very good friend, Bleeker. She decides to give the baby up for adoption, and finds a suitable couple in a magazine/newspaper called The Penny Saver. She meets with them and immediately connects with the man of the couple, the musician Mark.
The movie is mostly just about how Juno deals with her life as a pregnant teenager, a “cautionary whale” among her fellow high school students. It is filled to the brim with great lines and gives a rather different view of teenage pregnancy than the one we usually get from movies.
Highly recommended! My only regret is that the movie started showing here this late - what is up with that, Norwegian movie distributors??
