高中生朱諾(艾蓮·佩奇 Ellen Page飾)大大咧咧,是個可愛的精靈鬼,正經(jīng)歷著青春期到成人的蛻變。這一天她突然做出決定:要和帥氣的田徑隊員布里克(邁克爾·塞拉 Michael Cera飾)共嘗禁果。朱諾這次可闖了大禍,她一不留心竟然珠胎暗結(jié),接下來的麻煩可想而知。
和布里克談婚論嫁顯然還為時過早,然而墮胎是犯法行為。朱諾和好友商量,決定把孩子生下來,然后交給一對善心的夫婦撫養(yǎng)。然而,父母終究得知了朱諾的秘密,反應(yīng)并沒有朱諾料想的那么糟糕——一家人因為腹中的孩子團(tuán)結(jié)起來,共商計策,為她分擔(dān)懷孕的點滴苦樂。但是,朱諾畢竟是一個超級年輕的媽媽,小小年齡如何應(yīng)對這一切,恐怕還要經(jīng)歷一次心靈的蛻變。
對話文本:
Juno is a new film directed by Jason Reitman from the screenplay by first-timer Diablo Cody.
It tells a story of Juno MacGuff, a suburban teenager who finds herself pregnant after a brief encounter with her nerdy kind of boyfriend named Bleeker, played by Michael Cera.
Juno is played by Ellen Page, a 20-year-old Canadian actress who is really one of the breakouts of this year.
And this is a very funny, very smart, very clever and very warm comedy. Diablo Cody's script is very sharply written, sometimes a little bit too impressed with its own cleverness and stuffing a few too many bon mots in the mouths of its characters.
But the characters themselves are so well drawn and so well imagined and well played not only by Ellen Page and Michael Cera, but also by J. K. Simmons as Juno's dad, Allison Janney as her stepmother, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner as the yuppie couple who become the perspective adoptive parents of Juno's baby.
Now this movie has some things in common with Knocked Up, Judd Apatow's comedy hit of earlier in the year, but in a way it's also a kind of a smart girl's or a feminist answer to that movie, which was about male sexual anxiety. This movie insists that girls are smart and funny and also make mistakes and have trouble grappling with the demands of growing up.
But Ellen Page's performance is really extraordinary. This girl Juno is smart, sardonic,cynical, sensitive.
All of these complicated feelings and emotions and responses wrapped up in this compact but ever-growing package. This movie's gotten a lot of attention as it's made its way toward theatres on the festival circuit, there's a lot of Oscar talk. I think it may be in danger of becoming a little bit overrated, but it is a wonderfully satisfying clever sharp comedy, well worth seeking.
