Review: Juno

Jan-30 » Filed Under: Movies & TV » Posted by: Todd

On MLK Day Julie and I had the day off from work, but the kids' daycare was still open so we decided to see a movie...in an actual movie theater. Remember those? For Julie it was the first time she had been to a theater since before Cooper was born. I wanted to see No Country for Old Men, but the times worked out better for us to see Juno, which is another Oscar Best Picture contender.

The basic story is that a high school girl gets pregnant and has to decide whether or not to offer the child up for adoption. I wasn't really enjoying the movie in the beginning, but it started to grow on me. It seemed like the producers were trying to imitate the Rushmore/Little Miss Sunshine genre a bit too much (quirky in the extreme). By the end I was a fan, although not as much as Julie I suspect. Definitely worth a watch.

(3.5/5 stars)
