Juno is every bit better than the hype

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2008)

It's kinda funny how about every 20 years Hollywood gets it right in a teen comedy. I think back to the Graduate, then on to Say Anything and now Juno. If one thinks giving a poor rating to a truly great movie is funny or in some way makes them look smart, it's sadly untrue. Juno stars Ellen Page who plays a 16-year old high schooler who just up and decides one day that she's ready to have sex, unfortunately for her and her boyfriend, Michael Cera... she gets pregnant. While it seems easy and simple enough of a story, the layers start in. Juno doesn't want the baby... Juno doesn't want some easy way out... Juno just wants to play music and have this baby already given to someone who will love and take care of it as if it's really their own child. Juno isn't looking for a payday or a "oh, that's too bad"... Juno is amazing. See Juno today, you will once again feel like movies are worth watching again. It is the best picture of 2007, without question, and you will feel that life is just a little bit happier place from watching it.
