Juno is a Wonderful Intelligent Movie!

My husband and I took a little away time last evening to go out to dinner and a movie. We decided to see Juno and boy, are we glad we did.

Juno is the freshest comedy that I've seen in years. Not to mention - teen comedy. This is no American Pie, thankfully. Ellen Page is spot on as Juno, a teenaged girl facing the grown-up and daunting tasks of pregnancy and giving her child up for adoption. Every character is realistic and the movie's character development is moving, every actor perfect. It's easy to see why it is up for four Academy Awards. This is the kind of movie that when you see it, makes you realize how formulaic and underdone almost every movie out there is. Go and enjoy a refreshing new look at how comedies can really be done to perfection.

This is the second blog today that I've read saying this movie is fantastic --- and I already wanted to see it many weeks ago when I first saw the trailer. Now I can't wait!
