A comedy which tackles the issue of teen pregnancy has been creating a stir on the international festival circuit.

Juno recently won the best film award at the Rome Film Festival, while lead actress Ellen Page won a prize for her part at a Hollywood film event.

The X-Men star plays Juno MacGuff, a teenager who is trying to find a couple to adopt her baby.

Based on a screenplay by ex-stripper Diablo Cody, it's also being tipped for Oscar glory.

Cody said: "The story isn't autobiographical, but the characters are routed in experiences I had as a teenager."

But while it featured at the London Film Festival, Juno won't be hitting screens in the UK until February 2008.
