Did Juno That?

Dedicated E-mail: Juno

When was the last time you laughed so much you almost wet your pants?

See special advance previews of Juno this weekend, and you’ll be in stitches. The film opens in cinemas nationwide February 8. This year’s breakout comedy has received four Oscar nominations including best picture and best actress and astounding reviews. In short: it’s hilarious.

Like its star, Juno MacGuff (played brilliantly by Ellen Page), the film is quick witted and utterly lovable. After falling pregnant at the age of 16, courtesy of school friend Bleeker (the adorable Michael Cera), the confidently frank teenager takes an emotional nine-month journey into adulthood.

Not that she’s planning to keep the baby: she’s going to hand it over to Mark and Vanessa Loring (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), an affluent suburban couple who are desperate to adopt. Things don’t go as planned, but with a fearless intellect far removed from the usual teen angst, Juno conquers her problems head-on, despite the bumps (or is that bump?) along the way.

It’s a genius script that’s jam-filled with brilliant observations and touching truths.

You’ll laugh ’til your belly aches.

Opens nationwide February 8.
