Rated PG13 for teen sexuality, languageStarring Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, and JK Simmons
Juno (Page) is your typical high school teen - she plays guitar, hangs out with her best friends and has a hamburger phone. Bored while hanging out with her best guy pal (Cera) one afternoon, they decide to have sex. A little while later, she finds out shes pregnant. At first she decides she'll just get an abortion and be done with it, but once she gets to the clinic, she freaks out and decides that maybe an adoption would be better, as she's much too young to raise a kid.
It's a sweet light comedy about teenage pregnancy and adoption. Her parents, while shocked at first when she tells them the news (her dad retorts he had hoped the bad news was that she was failing school or on drugs) they are very supportive and understanding about the whole ordeal.
It's directed by Arrested Developement's Jason Bateman and the Oscar-nominated screenplay is a first by former stripper Diablo Cody who's blog was what got her noticed.
