movie blurb...juno

from World Magazine: "A love story that starts with a teen pregnancy and that is often racy about teenage sex might not be the most traditional tale, but Jason Reitman's new film Juno (rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, sexual content, and language) captures the one-step-forward-two-back progression of teen maturity better than most.

Impregnated after a one-night stand with her best friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera), 16-year-old Juno (Ellen Page) changes her plans for an abortion when a pro-life classmate plants in her brain the image of her child's fingernails. She decides to give the baby to a childless couple, played with the loving desperation of Jennifer Garner and the nonchalant charm of Jason. Overall positive review.
