What’s common to Jamie Lynn Spears, Sreedevi (of Malayalam film Notebook)and Juno MacGuff? Yeah, you are right- they were the much talked about ten pregnant of 2007-’08!!
While little Spears supplied ample Page 3 material in real life, the Malayalam star some pre- release hype and post release disappointment, Juno with her ravishing original it clearly stands apart.
The beauty of ’Juno’lies in its artistic honesty and complete lack of superficiality. Amature and authentic performance in a ’not-so-common’ role, Ellen Pagejust missed the Oscar for best actress.
The warmth shared in the relationships between the female characters, however brief their meetings are, is really heartwarming. The characters are a far cry from their conventional stereotypes- you see how a seemingly aloof stepmother had taken care of even the little concerns of Juno.
Watch out for the pungent sarcasm in dialogues when Juno’s friend Leah says the adoption ads are "right next to terriers and iguanas and used fitness equipment" or when Juno says her baby "looks probably like a Sea Monkey right now and we should let it get a little cuter". The much expected winner of the best original screenplay award, it’s one of those films which leave you contented at the end.
