What The Bloggers Think:

Saw Juno this week. I really liked this movie. It really flowed from beginning to end, in a way you wouldn’t expect from a movie that’s about teenage pregnancy. The characters seem like real people and they’re very likable. Juno finds out she’s pregnant, she tries to get an abortion, but can’t go through with it. She knows that she’s ill-equipped so she decides to find the best parents possible for the baby. This movie starts out like its going to be a silly comedy and ends beautifully, perfectly.

I was enchanted by the simple songs of Kimya Dawson throughout the whole movie.
This is the Last

So, Juno might be the best movie of the year. The combination of a smart, witty script, an engaging story, and an absolutely perfect performance from Ellen Page that all click together for a movie that just works on all levels.

I have to admit right now that this movie made me cry as well as laugh. (Yes, I’m a crybaby when it comes to sappy movies.) Deciding to give up your child for adoption is something I could personally never do and I admire the character, Juno (played by Ellen Page), for having the strength to carry through her decision. A lot of women, let alone teen mothers, can’t do that. I know it’s just a movie, but still. It happens in real life as well. And don’t say I gave it away because everyone knows that that is what the movie is about.

The relationships between all the characters really made the movie what it was though. I was surprised that everyone was so close to one another. I’ve only seen a couple of movies like that, and they were eh. But I guess independent films do it the best. Also, Juno and Bleeker were so adorable together, and the parents made me laugh way to much.
The So Called Me

Juno. WOW! It has to be in my “Top 5″ of movies this year…closer to the #1 spot! It is a brilliant movie all around. The performance by Ellen Page is perfect (not to mention she’s gorgeous…), the soundtrack is outstanding (I rarely ever buy movie soundtracks, but this one I bought without hesitation), the directing was fabulous, but the thing I loved most about the film was the writing! “Diablo Cody”, aka Brook Busey-Hunt wrote the script (in just a couple months, btw), and it’s amazing! It’s such a refreshing style. Her “story” is pretty sweet too. She’s one person I would really enjoy hanging out with…hilarious, real, adventurous, intelligent (qualities that complement the others so well, but are so hard to come by in people these days (that are used in combination with each other)).

If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I’d highly recommend it…oh and if you need even more than just my babbling, 2 words: Jennifer Garner!

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?
