Comedy comes from an exaggeration of reality, not reality itself — and on that score, Diablo Codys first screenplay gets high marks. Buy Juno Blu-ray gets two things dead right about contemporary teenagers… coming-of-age meets coming-to-term, in a film that is refreshingly frank about sex and love, pokes fun at the clashes between age and class, and, even more subversively…celebrates the pregnant possibilities of the non-nuclear family. A coming-of-age crowd-pleaser thats full of life, laughter and tears What propels the film into the stratosphere is Juno herself. As played by Ellen Page, Juno is a winning combination of fierce intelligence, irrepressible irony, casual profanity and, though she doesn’t want to admit it, emotional vulnerability. Full of great characters and well crafted and fascinating relationships, it may be the best film of the year.
