Movie review of Juno

Juno - 6.5/10
Directed by Jason Reitman
Cast - Ellen Page,Micheal Cera(Arrested development),Jennifer Garner(Alias),Jason Bateman(Arrested development)

Plot Summary
16 year old juno gets pregnant. She tells her best friend and her parents about it. Instead of going for an abortion she decides to give birth to the baby and then give it up for adoption.Her boyfriend,best friend and parents are supportive of it.This would have been a horror gore slasher SHORT film if they were Indian parents.

Review
Feel good movie. Acting is nice. Ellen Page is nominated for her role as Juno. Micheal Cera does his standard role just like the one in Aressted Development. Cinematography and editing is fine as well. All in all it is a good movie. Even though the script is rather very American and probably more what teenagers talk like nowadays, it is still wonderful and witty. kudos to Diablo Cody for that. Worth watching on a weekday or if there is nothing else to do on a weekend.

Best Quote
Juno MacGuff: You should've gone to China, you know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
Rollo: You better pay for that pee-stick when you're done with it. Don't think it's yours just because you marked it with your urine!
