Juno star Ellen Page. The film came out in 2007 and I just recently was able to see it. This is one of the most well-written screenplays I have seen in a long time. The plot surrounds a girl (Page) who becomes pregnant while in high school. She decides to give her baby up for adoption by a wealthy couple.

In the meantime the film progresses by showing her family and simple they are. It emphasizes how good the girl has it at home and how pregnancy doesn’t have to come from a teenager who is having troubles at home. It is something that can simply happen. The dialogue is incredibly sarcastic and funny.

Ellen Page is one of the better younger actresses we have around. She deserved her Oscar nomination. The film deserved its Oscar nomination as well. I don’t understand why Juno didn’t win one of the two nominations. Page certainly deserved her Oscar. Great film.
