The new film Juno is about a high school girl who gets pregnant and decides to give it in adoption to a childless couple has the cadences and rhythms of modern adolescents, but it has the spirit of Oscar Wilde or Cole Porter. The dialog (the writer is Diablo Cody) is joyfully exuberant at the same time it is authentically ironically detached. I don't know how this is achieved. The acting is great across the board, but it may be because the whole cast was under the spell of the script.

Image is reduced resolution version from the film's promotional material, and as such, I believe, constitutes a fair use.
