The runaway "indie" hit of 2007 is being released just when you are sending in your tax returns. Its author, the colorful Diablo Cody, says that it is an effort to humorously reveal that teenage girls are not as one-dimesional as portrayed in the media, that many, many are thoughtful, making the best of adolesence, and gutsy to boot.

Cody, who became somewhat famous before she became fabulously famous when she wrote her memoir about her year as a stripper, is pro-choice and says that Juno's decision to deliver her baby is a vehicle for revealing character and humor, not a political statement. Watch the film and you'll agree with her.

And Ellen Page is a low-key wonder as Juno, who is not named after the Alaskan city as you will learn.

From an online reviewer:

What makes the film work above all things though is how, as stated earlier, this is not a movie about teen pregnancy. Think of it as a device and you'll get the politics out of your system. Cody's script is more about love, friendship, and maturity. The film is a feel good film, but the relationships in the film are complex. Cody's script and Reitman's direction keep you interested til the end giving a very satisfying conclusion.

From Roger Ebert (who gave "Juno" 4 stars):

Jason Reitman's "Juno" is just about the best movie of the year. It is very smart, very funny and very touching; it begins with the pacing of a screwball comedy and ends as a portrait of characters we have come to love. Strange, how during Juno's hip dialogue and cocky bravado, we begin to understand the young woman inside, and we want to hug her.

Has there been a better performance this year than Ellen Page's creation of Juno? I don't think so. If most actors agree that comedy is harder than drama, then harder still is comedy depending on a quick mind, utter self-confidence, and an ability to stop just short of going too far. Page's presence and timing are extraordinary. I have seen her in only two films, she is only 20, and I think she will be one of the great actors of her time
