Advantages: Bittersweet comedy with so many touching moments.

Disadvantages: I didn't want it to end

I wanted to see Juno in the cinema after seeing the trailer just before some underwhelming film that I don't even remember now and recall the advert being the highlight of the whole experience. Suffice to say, I missed it as is the way with these things and had to hold out until a DVD release. In situations like this you can end up hyping said film up in your head, thus leading to an unsatisfactory experience when you watch it. This is so not what happened with Juno. I would say this is possibly the best film I have watched this year. I loved every moment of it - was amazed by the charcterisation and the acting and the script. I felt for these characters in a way that I hadn't in a movie for such a long time. The masterful way in which they crafter an opinion on two of the characters (I am always loath to go into too much detail in case I ruin the experience) and then turn it on their heads took my breath away. I can only describe it as a small epic film with not a bad moment in it.

Summary: Not afraid to say I welled up
