Juno

Juno (2007)
Juno, you made me laugh in a good way , more than any other movie lately. Me and my two friends who went to the movies came away smiling and saying good things about you. We went to a little local movie theatre that has couches for seats and sells super expensive trendy icecream in little tubs. Lots of middle aged, well groomed couples frequent the neighbourhood and so most of the audience were 50 or older.

Juno 16, at high school and pregnant. Pregnant to Paul Bleeker, 16 on the running team and with an adiction to orange tictacs. Ellen Page is freakin awsome as the main character who decides to continue with the pregnancy and give her baby up for adoption.

Somehow after reading an article maybe 18 months ago, I had stumbled onto the blog of Diablo Cody, who was the writer for this movie. Cody had become a stripper for some time and lived a bit of a wild life with her husband and family but was engaging and funny in her blog. Unfortunately I deleted her web address, when obviously involved in the movie making business she neglected her blog. I do have to say has done a super job of making a character so funny and real.
