I had the pleasure of attending a free sneak preview of Juno last night. The movie is about a 16 year old girl who gets pregnant. It is a really funny, well done movie. Plenty of laughs. I am sure the storyline will upset the conservatives, and maybe even some liberals, but I liked it just fine. And I got a free T-Shirt out of the deal!!
Juno was played by the girl who plays Kitty Hawk in the X-Men movies, Ellen Page. She was pretty damn funny as the too mature for her own good, Juno MacGuff. Her dialogue was fast and witty, not something youd expect from a teenager, but that’s part of what makes it so funny. Playing her love interest in the movie was the kid from Super Bad and Arrested Development, Michael Cera. He played the part well, unfortunately, I felt it was kinda the same part he played in Super Bad and Arrested Development, the awkwardly cool, trying too hard kid. Hey, go with your strengths, I’d just hate to see the kid typecast. There was also Allison Janney, aka CJ from the West Wing and J.K. Simmons, the psych guy on Law and Order, as well as Neo-Nazi on OZ.
It was a very funny movie, and even thought provoking, the mark of a successful film, in my eyes. I don’t know when it comes out nationally, but I suggest you see it ASAP.
