We Heart Juno

We just saw Juno, and oh my blog, we haven't loved a movie this much since….well, pretty much forever. Not only does it rock because it's got Michael Cera in gold jogging shorts and sweatbands, but it stars Ellen Page, who is definitely the best actress of this generation. (She's even nominated for a Golden Globe!)

Basically, the movie's about a hilariously snarky girl named Juno (Ellen Page) who gets pregnant when she sleeps with her BGF Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). But instead of having an abortion or raise the baby herself, she decides to have it and then give it up for adoption. She finds a super perfect, preppy couple in the Penny Saver who wants it. Even though she wants to hand it over immeds – "If I could just have the thing and give it to you now, I totally would. But I'm guessing it looks, probably like a sea monkey right now, and I should let it get a little cuter." -- we get to follow Juno though her 9 mos as she's dealing with being a preggo teen, getting to know (too much) about the adoptive parents, and figuring out her relationship with Paulie. The major reason we hearted it? Juno is a fresh, outspoken heroine that we'd totally love to chill with.

You Say!
