I have very recently watched Juno. Simply put, I loved it! To me, movies that just "arrive" are some of the best around. Meaning, movies that are just themselves, no gimmicks, just solid stories with solid characters. A movie that is what it is and nothing more or less. This is exactly what Juno is. As a bonus, it's about a teenage girl who makes, in my humble opinion, a responsible choice regarding a unplanned pregnancy...cool. Did I mention that the title character Juno is also the most endearing, honest, and I dare say realistic teenage girl I have seen on film to the best of my memory? Well, she is. I defy anyone to poke holes in what I've said. Yeah, I said it, and I didn't stutter either. ;)
In any case, this is a true gem of a film. An honest look at life as an accidental mom. If you haven't seen it yet, do so soon.
That's me right now, in the middle of everything.
