The plot: After accidentally getting pregnant, 15-year-old Juno (Ellen Page) looks for a perfect couple to adopt the child while simultaneously trying to straighten things out with her boyfriend.
Our quick thoughts: As one of the top five movies of the year, "Juno" is a wonderful comedy about a peculiar teenager who learns an important lesson about sex, pregnancy, growing up and finding one true self. Diablo Cody's highly original script supplies audiences with plenty of sarcastic humor, while Ellen Page's incredibly touching performance will keep you bound to your chair for 90 minutes of delicious, subtle comedy.
Freaky quote: "Can't we just like kick this old school. You know, like I stick the baby in a basket, send it your way, like Moses and the reeds?" - Ellen Page

How friggin' great is the music in this flick? It's so quirky, playful and unexpected (like Juno herself). That Moldy Peaches song rocks my socks.
OMG!! The film, the music, the EVERYTHING!! I love this movie. I have to see it again and again! 10/10
