Juno

So this year, I have this goal to see as many of the Oscar nominated movies as possible. Yesterday I went to see Juno and loved it! Ellen Page really is a gifted young actress! I enjoyed the story line on many levels such as the following:

The step mom was portrayed as part good and part annoying rather than the typical wicked that you usually see in this role.

Sex just happened once and was not an act that made Juno completely unacceptable to her parents or friends. It made her feel crappy on many levels yes, but it did not completely offset any good in her.

She was jonesing for a nerd! I love that! Nerds can be quite cool once you get to know them, right Gina?

I also loved what she decided to do with the baby!!!! I won't give this away for those of you who still want to watch.

Overall, I loved Juno and aside from the fact that I believe premarital sex is a no no, crap happens. This movie shows the pain found in making tough decisions.

Today I'm going to see Michael Clayton. I'll give you my humble opinion later.
