I watched this on HBO

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2009)

I started out thinking that Juno (Ellen Page)was a little too much of a smart alec, but about a 1/4 of the way through the film I warmed up to her charm. I liked the folksy music they played in the film, I think it set the mood well. Even though I did not get all the youth references (I am in my 40's)I did laugh out loud a few times during some of the dialogue. I was moved by this picture and Juno's relationship with Bleeker. The part about the dysfunctional upper class couple reminded me of American Beauty. I can see why a lot of people liked this movie, I started out kind of lukewarm on it, but remained interested all the way to end.
