Juno

Who hasn't seen Juno yet? If you're into slightly cheesy, yet witty comedies then I say go watch it. You've got nothing to lose. The cast is superb! Ellen Page is awesome as Juno. Her speech seems very advanced for her age, which is good. She's portrayed as a smart chick who happens to get pregnant. The one thing that I did not necessarily care for was the abortion clinic scene in this movie. Let's just say it carries on a definite anti-choice, or pro-life if you choose to call it, entendre. I can respect those who are anti-choice and leave them to their own feelings, but it would be nice if they could do the same. As a woman, I feel that the right to choose SHOULD be an essential freedom as part of living in a "free" country, but that's beside the point.

Otherwise, the movie had definite strong points. The filming was well-done, the opening was cutely animated. The characters delivered witty lines and Allison Janney is awesome! It's almost like she's always in every movie I watch. Music in the movie is also noteworthy. Who can resist some good stuff from The Moldy Peaches? If you don't know who they are, you should check them out! http://www.themoldypeaches.com There was other stuff by Belle and Sebastian, Katastrophy Wife and other sweet acts.

Overall, the movie plays out well and is not unnecessarily sugary or over-the-top and it does not show pregnancy as something adorable or enviable. There is one funny scene involving a blue slushie. Hehehe. Check it out. Leave some comments and junk, too. :)
