JUNO (2007)

Cast

Plot

Juno Macguff is sixteen years old and already hard at war with the world she's on the cusp of entering; but though bright, vivacious, cynical and fiercely individual, one thing she has not prepared herself for is pregnancy. When Juno finds herself with child from her sweet natured, geeky and adoring best mate she decides the only sensible thing to do is find a good home for the baby and in the small ads finds a young, affluent couple desperate to adopt. Sadly life is rarely that simple, though fortunately for Juno rarely are family and friends as cool as hers. It doesn't really sound like a barrel of laughs does it? Let alone feel good, but Juno has such a simple, believable grasp on it's characters that the humour flows naturally from the most unlikely of scenarios. A truly cracking script and a great cast make this understated delight the best film of its kind since the joy that is ‘Little Miss Sunshine'.
