Juno Advertisement
Juno
In Cinema Jan 17
Sixteen year-old Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) is a real individual offbeat and super smart, with a razor-sharp wit. Life gets a little complicated when a one-night-stand with her awkward but surprisingly virile classmate Paulie Bleeker (Superbad`s Michael Cera) results in a most unwelcome pregnancy. Juno embarks on a search to find the "perfect couple" to take on parenting responsibilities only to find life isn`t quite so simple. Co-starring Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman (Arrested Development) and Alison Janney (of The West Wing) and from the director of Thank You For Smoking, Juno is already being heralded as one of the funniest and cleverest comedies of the year.

Striking the right blend of quirk, cool and serious stuff, Juno rules" FOUR STARS! - EMPIRE
