I just finished watching the Juno Blu-ray. I have to say again how much I love this movie. It’s remarkably honest and real. While still manufacturing this surrealistic world that everybody wants to live in.

Things certainly aren’t perfect. Teenagers getting pregnant, couples getting divorced, Juno’s best friend is jail bait for her male teachers. But it all is so refreshingly honest it’s all beautiful.

Just buy it. You will love it… Even if it takes you half a dozen of viewings.

A 16 year old gets pregnant. Then she deals with it. That sounds like a copout of a description, but it is the only one I can come up with. If I were to outline everything it would seem just like every other boring teen movie. But the reality is nothing of the sort. It’s fantastically different, and entirely original.

For a long time movies have failed to wow me. In the last 10 years there are only three movies I would tell people “they have to see�. The Matrix, Children of Men, and Juno. The Matrix proved that action films could be intellectually stimulating as well. Children of Men showed that an action movie could be as emotionally powerful as the greatest classic dramas. Juno is a funny movie about a real teenage pregnant girl. It is truly a must see. I can say the best movie of of the year, suck in just at the end. But it would be tough for me to imagine a better movie coming out this year.
