Juno


4.5 out of 5 Stars (which says a lot coming from me)
I fell in love with the character of Juno. Ellen Page was endearing and natural. It's about time educated audiences can be entertained by an extremely well written script, amazing supporting characters (J.K Simmons, Allison Janney, Michael Cera, et al) And Jennifer Garner was unexpectedly brilliant. Her character was supporting but due to the brilliance of the script she was given so much to work with. This film made me laugh, smile, (I confess) tear up a little bit, and I left the theater feeling as though good filmmaking and good writing still exist. Also, check out the soundtrack. Good stuff.
