How could I fail to like this film? Much like Youth In Revolt and Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist, music plays an integral role, however it isn't a straightforward 'Michael Cera meets girl' indie film. Oh no, it's a lot more interesting than that.
The star of the show isn't Cera (who plays a recurring important part well) but Ellen Page who gives a tour de force as the titular character, a 16 year old girl impregnated by Cera's character Paulie Bleeker. She is just brilliant as Juno, pulling off a teenage girl without any use of stereotype, a credit also to the writers.
I don't normally go into the main storyline of the film, but I'll make a slight exception to add a reference to the prospective adoptive parents of Juno's baby, Jennifer Garner and Jason Batemen portraying a likeable but at the same time dislikeable couple.
The best moment in the film... the ending. What happens? Well I'm not going to ruin it for you.
