Juno


I saw Juno this evening. I have to say I loved it. It's a movie about people who are quirky, but still, for the most part, believable. Ellen Page is getting most of the kudos for her performance as the title character, and she deserves them, but I also really liked Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner. The only thing that bugged me, just a little, about the movie is that Ellen Page's Juno constantly references things that she is far to young to know. I can understand a sixteen-year old who likes Iggy Pop, but a sixteen-year old who references Soupy Sales? These quick little snarky jokes were funny, but they momentarily jolted me out of the cozy little world the movie creates.
