![]() She considers an abortion, but decides she'd rather have the baby and come to a private adoption agreement with a suitable couple. Her best friend, Paulie (Michael Cera), is equally outside the mainstream of suburban high-school life, so it's probably inevitable that their first fumbling sexual experience is with each other. Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) wears her geek-chic with pride and doesn't so much refuse to conform as simply not consider the possibility of being anyone or anything except who she is: an independent, outspoken, pop-culture-loving teenager with a smart remark for every occasion. First-time screenwriter Diablo Cody's gently comic, different-for-girls tale of a pregnant, hyper-verbal teenager is the distaff answer to the testosterone-fueled hijinks of movies like KNOCKED UP and SUPERBAD (both 2007).
