Juno


I just watched this again. Love starting movies at midnight. It's like the 20th time I've seen it, but for the record I haven't watched it in a while, so it was with kinda fresh eyes. The basic story is a sixteen year old girl is bored, has sex with her best friend, Paully and she gets pregnant and finds adoptive parents. Yeah, that's true and all. But I guess what I love in this is the humor in every scene, the sarcastic, slang slinging, funny catch phrases that come out. Completely random. Like the hamburger phone. Or the music choices. The Melvins, Mott the Hoople, MewithoutYou, Bowie cover, a lot of cool stuff. Basically, you are laughing the whole way through. And it's sharp witted like you wouldn't believe. Love that.
The odd thing that I realized when watching this, it's a lot like Rushmore (Wes Anderson), except it's not quite as awkward. Trust me, if you've seen it you know what I'm talking about. Similar humor, but so wildly different. It looked interesting so I watched it. So should you.
