Juno

Okay so I recently had the absolute pleasure of watching the greatest film in the history of the world. Well, I don’t know if it’s the best, but it’s pretty good!

So for people who havn’t seen it yet and want to see it and be completely surprised, the next little bit you might not want to read. I don’t give a bunch away but still. Anyways, Juno is about a teenage girl named Juno who sleeps with Paulie Bleeker, her boyfriend/friend (it changes over the course of the movie) and ends up pregnant. At first she plans to have an abortion but Sue-Chin is there and tells her that her baby has fingernails, so she decides to give the baby up for adoption. She chooses to give the baby to a couple who lives in the suberbs in a really gorgeous, perfect house. The couple – Mark and Vanessa, seem completely perfect. During the nine months of her pregnancy the movie goes over the struggles she faces with pregnancy, Bleeker, and Mark & Vanessa. Eventually Mark tells Juno that he’s divorcing Vanessa and there’s a huge emotional moment, and everyone cries, and it’s great. And then Juno has to make some decisions. And that’s all I’m going to tell you so as not to ruin it!

This movie can appeal to people our age and our parents age. I loved this movie because of the humour, and how witty it is! It’s not just your standard ‘haha, I made a sexual comment’ humour, it’s actually witty and so clever. I also liked the characters and how I could imagine people in our school when I was watching it. It was real. My mom liked it for the real-life aspect too. She loved how it showed the ups and downs of pregnancy, and the issues teens face when pregnant. She also loved that the ‘perfect’ couple may not be so perfect. My mom really enjoyed the humour too. Sometimes at dinner we just quote Juno, and it’s great! I’m surprised that we found a movie we both love!

So now I’m going to put some quotes that I just loved. This is such a great movie!!
- (Juno grabs a pregnancy test and goes into the bathroom at the convenience store) Convenience Store Guy: You better pay for that pee stick when you get back! Just because you marked it with your urine doesn’t mean it’s yours!
- (Juno comes back with the pregnancy test in hand) Convenience Store Guy: What’s the verdict fertile mertle? Juno: It’s positive. (Juno shakes the pregnancy test in attemp to change the sign) Convenience Store Guy: That aint no etch-a-sketch. That’s one doodle that can’t be un-did, homeskillet. Your eggos preggo, my friend.
- Vanessa: We’ve been trying to adopt for a while.
   Juno: You should’ve just gone to China. ‘Cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. They pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
- Adoption Lady: There’s a few forms we’ll need you to fill out.
   Juno: What? Can’t we just do this old school, I put the baby in a basket and send it your way, like Moses and the reeds?
- Juno’s BFF: Are you sure you’re pregnant? Maybe it’s a food baby.
   Juno: No, it’s not a food baby, I’ve taken like three pregnancy tests and I am for shizz up the spout.
   Juno’s BFF: How did you even generate enough pee for three pregnancy tests?

That’s all I’m going to say, GO WATCH THE MOVIE AND YOU’LL HEAR LOTS MORE!

    I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!

    I saw it, I don’t know, a week or two ago. It was so good! I loved it because it was hilarious, and not your typical stupid jokes. They were pretty subtle. I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD so I can buy it, I really really liked it. It was really just a cute story, and they pulled it off just right.

    Love this movie so much! It is hilarious.
    i watched it and it was sooo good.
    I love how the movie is filled with love and humor but at teh same time it sends out a positive message with young teens getting pregnant and not knowing what to do with the baby. It has a serious message behind all the funny jokes.
    i also have to say that I love the music and I look forward to buying the soundtrack. I love the song All I want is you. It is so cute and it reflects the movie really well. I am happy that you posted this.
