Juno
Cool. This was a great little movie featuring a range of interesting quirky characters who I actually enjoyed spending time with. Ellen Page is one cool actress, it’s amazing to think she was the ‘little’ girl in Hard Candy. That’s quite a range for someone so young. I’m very pleased with the way the movie resolved the relationship between Juno and her baby’s prospective father. Initially, the script is written in such a way that he has your sympathy and you see his wife as a less lovable character. But as he develops a relationship with Juno things become creepier and creepier. Fortunately they bring things to a head before you think about deserting the cinema.
It was nice seeing Minnesota on the big screen though the film was clearly made on a tiny budget as the cinematography was not the greatest and the focus puller was having a rather hard time of things.
I laughed a lot and would watch this again.

Errr……too bad that the movie wasn’t made in Minnesota. (Vancouver, I think.) Didn’t you see the mountains off in the distance when she’s driving back and forth between St. Cloud and Mpls.? A distracting mistake from the art direction department.

*is sad* That’s disappointing. Oh well, that’s the ‘magic of the movies’, I suppose. *lol*
