It’s funny how some films are nothing more than two hours of entertainment that allow their audience to forget about the world around them for a while, and that’s not a bad thing, it’s those two hours of magic that drag people out of their homes and into the theater. But every once in a while a film like “Juno” comes along and the magic follows you home even after you’ve left the theater.

Director Jason Reitman, and writer Diablo Cody have created a truly amazing film that resonates long after the credits have rolled. The film follows Juno (Ellen Page) after she finds out she’s pregnant for her off and on boyfriend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). Juno is a feisty girl with a large vocabulary that flows from her mouth with the ease and cunning of a beat poet. Her family is intensely interesting and eccentric. Her dad is an heating and air guy that loves his daughter with every fiber of his being, and her step mother is a dog loving hard-ass with a soft side. Juno decides that she is going to have the baby and give it up for adoption, so she does what ever red blooded American sixteen year old would do, she looks in the Penny Saver and finds a nice couple that is looking for a kid.

Reitman and Cody make an incredible team, the writing and direction in this film are unforgettable. They tackle a very difficult subject with grace and never force an opinion on their audience. The opening credits are amazing and every frame of the film kept my interest. The actors give flawless performances that make you forget your watching a movie, and that’s what going to the movies is all about. What sets “Juno” apart from other films is the fact that it’s been a week since I’ve seen it and I’m still watching it in my head. Very few films make an impression like this one, so if you haven’t seen it yet then get your ass to the theater and check it out because it is a killer film.
