Juno

I liked this movie a lot. I thought there were some really good performances, from Ellen Page, Allison Janney, JK Simmons, Jason Bateman, and Jennifer Garner. It takes place in Minnesota and for some reason, Allison Janney kinda reminded me of Sheryl. I liked the story. I liked the idea behind it. I like it that everything was not smooth. I loved the music. This became the second movie, I think that I went out and bought the CD immediately upon leaving the theater (the first being Elizabethtown, which though I liked, it was more for Lyndsae). Someone mentioned to me that they thought this movie glamorized teen pregnancy, but I don't see it that way. I don't think there was anything glamorous about it. I also don't think it demonized it either. I think Juno was a "normal" hich school girl, who happened to be pregnant. I thought Page did a great job of pulling this off. I also think Janney and Simmons did a really good job as caring, cool parents. And Garner did a good job as someone who desperatley wanted a child. I thought this was good all around. Some of the best female performances I've seen this year.
