Juno
I have just watched the sweetest, cutest, most wonderful, moving, funny and lovely movie ever.
“Juno” is every bit as great and fantastic as everybody is saying. Just wow. How ever many Oscars it received - it would definitely have deserved a couple more. And that is high praise, coming from me, who is normally not in the least moved by the thought of babies or pregnancy or any of that stuff.
Watching a 16-year-old goofy kid dealing with an unwanted pregnancy is usually not exactly my idea of fun. But then again, this movie is not exactly the usual kind of movie, either. The first time I read about it was the review on Pajiba.com. Often, as much as I love to read their bitchy reviews, I don’t agree with their opinions of the movies. But this time they were spot-on. So go on over there and read it, it’s better than anything I could write.
There really should be more films like this. (Wait, maybe there are and I just don’t know them? Do you?) Oh, and Ellen Page is lovely. Can’t wait to see more of her.
I am absolutely in love with this film. If you haven’t seen it: go and watch it, you’ll thank me later.

It’s showing in the movies here right now. But I’ll watch out for the DVD.

Yes, Juno is definitely one of the best movies this year! Too bad it had such a tough competition at the Oscar’s this year…

I didn’t follow the Oscars this year. What with the author’s strike and everything it completely passed me by. Besides, I didn’t know any of the nominated movies, so I wasn’t interested anyway. But even if Juno didn’t get as many Oscars as it deserved, it certainly did get a lot of praise everywhere, so I guess the producers can’t complain anyway.
