A million people have probably said it a million times better than I can, but just in case it hasn't been made clear to you yet, the film 'Juno' is brilliant.

Juno is the story of a sixteen year old girl, Juno, played by Ellen Page (Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde from X-Men 3), who discovers that she is pregnant following an evening of "sexual intercourse" with her best friend Bleeker, played by Michael Cera (George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development).

After overcoming the initial feelings of disbelief, Juno decides she will have an abortion. She quickly changes her mind when she bumps into a class mate, and pro-life protester, out front of the abortion clinic, and learns that her unborn child may already have fingernails. After consulting with her cheerleader friend, Leah (who has an unhealthy fascination for school teachers), Juno decides to put her baby up for adoption.

When confronted with the news, Juno's father and step mother are surprised that a) their Juno Movie Posterdaughter is pregnant and b) she'd had "sexual intercourse" with Bleeker. After getting over his initial desire to go an "punch that Bleeker kid in the weiner", Juno dad is quite supportive, as is her step mother. The relationship between Juno and her father and step mother is a highlight of the film. Typical Holywood teen pregnancy cliches are kept to an absolute minimum.

Responding to an ad in the local 'Penny Saver', Juno meets Mark and Vanessa (played by Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner). An odd relationship forms between Juno and the expectant parents, Mark in particular. As the day of the birth draws closer, all sorts of relationship based tension begins to build. Will Juno be able to give up her child? Will Juno hook up with Mark? Will Bleeker get another chance with Juno? Will I be able to stop laughing at the "pork sword" line? So many questions.

I believe that the word "quirky" was created in order for me to describe the movie Juno. It's a comedy, with tinges of drama, however it never goes down the path of predictability. Ellen Page is brilliant as Juno, firing off sharp tongued barbs like a ninja tossing ninja stars. There are a lot of laugh out loud moments in this film and the dialogue throughout the movie is solid gold.

Overall, Juno is an awesome 'feel good' comedy, that deals with some serious issues in an entertaining way. I have no problems at all in awarding this movie the highest Swollen Pickles accolade, I give it 5 pickles out of 5.
