This fun and endearing film looks at teenage life through the eyes of witty, sophisticated protagonist Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) who, after sleeping with her goofy friend Bleeker, finds herself pregnant. Juno’s subsequent choices lead to a roller-coaster relationship with prospective adoptive parents, Mark and Vanessa. With strong female leads and fast-paced dialogue, Juno is a sweet but never saccharine film about relationships and growing up.

There will be an introduction to this film in the context of the Comparative Study.
