“Juno” is an awesomely written escapade examining life, love, responsibility and pregnancy through the eyes of a high school junior.

Nominated for three Golden Globe Awards among a burgeoning list, it is this year’s surprise treat for moviegoers across the country.

“Juno” also recieved five nominations at the Critics’ Choice Awards. Diablo Cody won for best writer and the film won best comedy.

As the film opens we are immediately introduced to the situation at hand provided by painstakingly truthful dialogue and the hard reality of the positive pregnancy test. Sixteen-year-old Juno, played by stunning actress Ellen Page, has had a sexual encounter that will change her life forever.

Juno struggles with her predicament, deciding to give the baby up for adoption to the caring, married couple played by Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner. What seems like a quick fix to a large problem quickly unravels as Juno goes through the various stages of an expecting mother. However, the promise of a baby may not be able to save their seemingly perfect marriage. After becoming close to the adoptive father, Juno feels responsible for the couple’s marital woes.

As the would-be family of her future child begins to fall apart, Juno comes to terms with her true feelings for her best friend, and the father of her child, Paulie Bleeker, played by Michael Cera of “Superbad” fame.

Juno grapples with the idea of love and whether two people can be happy forever or if every couple inevitably calls it quits.

For those of you who have seen “Knocked Up,” you will find this to be a very similar experience. Except the writer, Diablo Cody has infused the screenplay with cynical, real world witticisms that ring true to the more brutally honest side of life.

Overall, “Juno” is an intelligent yet humorous romp right up until the birth of the child and will certainly have you in stitches, giving the beautiful emotional aspects much more depth and power when they arrive.
