"I've taken like three pregnancy tests, and I'm forshizz up the spout."
Juno (Ellen Page) is a wise-cracking teenager, who sleeps with a friend, Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera), with the inevitable result of getting pregnant. Once over the shock, she decides to have the child and give it up for adoption to a couple she finds and vets. Vanessa (Jennifer Garner) and Mark (Jason Bateman), are desperate to adopt and everything is going swimmingly until Juno learns that Mark is planning to leave Vanessa.
Articulate, sensitive and funny. But once over the initial delight one starts to realise that this hip liberal view of middle class middle America glosses over so much. Still it worked at the time.
