A refreshing change from the usual garbage comedy

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2008)

What a pleasure it is to see a comedy that was witty and fun and also sweet and touching. I have not met a person that didn't like it. The conventional criticism of Juno is that it's dialog and characters are too snappy, too mature for their years. I think adults today have little idea of the sophistication of many of today's kids. Exposure to the internet has changed everything. If you want to talk about what will never happen, how about Seth Rogan matched up with Katherine Heigl in Knocked Up. Sorry but no woman could ever be that drunk. No man would ever get away with his behavior towards her. I think to of how I have suffered over the years in Adam Sandler or Jim Cary movies. Please no more! For a long time I thought movie comedy was dead and then along came Sideways, Little Miss Sunshine and Juno. Maybe there is hope for the future. Maybe we can have real comedies that make us laugh while trying to tell a real story. You will not find this kind of wit on the walls of public bathrooms and that is more than I can say for the 40 year old virgin or knocked up.
