Juno

Exclaim Critics Pick - 2008! Helmed by Hollywood wunderkind Jason Reitman (Thank You for Smoking), this sophomore feature effort about a teenager’s unplanned pregnancy is a dizzyingly witty yarn that owes double-debt to the smokin’ quill of first-time feature writer Diablo Cody and the wickedly funny performance of native Haligonian Ellen Page. With lines like "You should’ve gone to China for your baby, you know, ’cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods; you know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events,” what’s not to love?
