Juno on DVD

ASSI - "Juno" is a cute coming of age comedy-drama movie that won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. There was a time when an unwed teenager's pregnancy was hidden from the friends and family, and the daughter resurfaced after giving birth and putting the child up for adaption. Times have certainly changed, and Ellen Page brings wit to a situation that is no longer tabu. "Juno" is written by Diablo Page who has written herself a new career.

Allison Janney and J.K. Simmons plays Juno very understanding and supporting parents whose sense of humor makes the movie sweet and endearing. Allison plays Juno step mother who sacrifice her desire to have a dog because Juno is allergic to dog saliva, and mother to Liberty Bell, Juno's little sister. J. K. Simmons is a caring father who loves his child inspite of the decisions she makes, and wants nothing more than to be Juno's first love. He is so adorable in this film that I smiled each time he was in a scene, he exude genuine love for his daughter while understanding who she is as a person.

Michael Cera seemed to play the same character as the one he played in Super Bad sweet, innocent, smart, and without controversy. As I see it Juno is a great chick flick that's a good weekend film. I give Juno 3.5 blinks.
