Garner and Bateman, while not as well written as Page, do great as the would-be adoptive parents. Supporting turns from just about everyone only further complement Page's terrific acting. And in seeing Juno, I now know that she truly will continue to grow into a great actress. After seeing her intense, calculating and downright terrifying work in Hard Candy, I knew that she would be a presence to be reckoned with.

She plays it even better during the more hormonal aspects of the pregnancy, and she makes her undeniable mark on the movie-going public as she does. She is very in tune with the role, and even though it is not wholly original, she makes it her own and gives it a grand sense of earnestness (and pathos when needed). She plays Juno with a chip on her shoulder, and a keen sense of tongue in cheek. Her work here is simply astounding, and watching her mature as the film goes on is the stuff of movie magic. This is aided almost exclusively by the commanding presence of Page. It progresses through the stages of her pregnancy (and the seasons that pass), and through the various problems and issues that arise as a result of the pregnancy. It may not sound like a deep film, but right from moment one, the film draws you into Juno's bizarre world of teenage angst and wonderment. After deciding to not have an abortion, Juno decides that she will give the baby up for adoption to would-be parents Vanessa and Mark Loring (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) after finding an ad in the local classified section of the newspaper. Juno chronicles the story of the titular sixteen-year-old girl (played by Ellen Page), and the fallout of her accidental pregnancy. And the wait definitely made it worthwhile. Everyone has raved about it for months, and I waited patiently for it to be released somewhere nearby.

Following all of the hype, it was impossible for me to not want to see Juno.
