If you live in the metro area, you have seen a lot of press for the movie’s writer, Diablo Cody, so maybe have heard about the movie Juno. It’s is a movie mostly about teen pregnancy and little bit about love. It was a pretty good movie — not a truly awesome movie but better than most. The casting of the teenagers was very good. The main character played by Ellen Page was very convincing as the edgier than thou teenager. I was shocked to learn she is 20 years old and Canadian to boot.

I loved the annoying lo-fi soundtrack a lot. The writing seemed very good, although at times the clever dialog was better than the story. I would have liked to have seen more of the clerk from the Kwikee Mart in the opening scene.

It’s not a new favorite, but it was a fun movie to see.
