Let me say it right now: Juno is the best film of 2007.

Ellen Page (from X-Men and Hard Candy fame) is Juno McGuff, a sassy sixteen-year old who — after taking three pregnancy tests to confirm — grudgingly admits she’s pregnant. After quick deliberation, she decides to seek adoptive parents from the ‘Desperately Seeking Spawn’ section of the Pennysaver, which leads her to Mark (Jason Bateman) and Vanessa (Jennifer Gardner), a seemingly perfect couple living in suburban paradise. Along the way, she’s helped by Mac, her supportive dad (J.K. Simmons), and Bren her step-mom (Allison Janney), and she tries to figure out where she stands with her boyfriend (Michael Cera).

As Juno, Ellen Page is just awesome. She’s cute. Down-to-earth. With a razor sharp wit and tongue, and an encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture and history.

I bet it’s not easy. It’s not easy to act with such depth — going from charmingly sarcastic to helplessness and frustration, but Page does it. And how many actors can say a line like, “Bren, you’s a dick” with perfect comedic timing and gusto?

The movie is wonderful. That’s all there is to say. It’s funny, but not rude. It’s sweet, but not nauseating. And it’s touching — oh dear Lord it’s touching — but effortlessly so. I loved it. And you’ll love it.

And seriously, tell me: Where can I find a girl like Juno McGuff?
