Do you know Juno?

Unfortunately I have been having a lot of socially crippling work obligations... But Spirit of Time will come back with a vengeance after New Years...
This weekend I finally came out of my shell (a little) and watched Juno. Ever since I saw the trailer I have been dying to see this movie!!!

I had ridiculously high expectations going into it that have been building up for months, which 90% of the time when they reach that high, I end up disappointed. But this time despite the high expectations, the movie was everything I imagined it to be and then some. (Easy on exclamation marks tiger!)

Juno is directed by Jason Reitman, who also has done Thank you for Smoking (which I love!). It is about 16 year old Juno who gets pregnant and decides to have the baby and give it for adoption to a yuppy-family-who-can't-have-kids. During her pregnancy she experiences things "way beyond her maturity level" and Juno's story is cute, heart felt and funny.

Ellen Page (playing Juno) and Michael Cera (playing the boy who got her pregnant) are amazing actors. I think Michael Cera will easily be the next Will Ferrell.
The maturity level of the script is amazing because teen pregnancy is not an easy issue to handle. It is funny without being cheesy, emotional without being sappy...
This movie is life as we know it or as it is lived. So natural and affectionate...
