So last night I decided, since my husband was out of town, that I would check out the movie Juno.
It had gotten a lot of acclaim, and I’d had friends who raved about it.
I popped the movie in once the girls were snug in their beds as early as I could possibly get them in there (hey, he’s been out of town for days now and I’m tired!) I turned off the lights, curled up under a blanket, and sat, mesmerized, for about two hours in front of Juno.
Let me tell you, the writing was phenomenal. Diablo Cody has a way with words. If you are a writer, you know what I mean when I say that all I want out of life is to write something that flows the way that Diablo made this script flow.
The story line was fantastic and Ellen Page played this character perfectly. We’re going to be seeing a lot of her, I’m guessing, in the future. She was smart, edgy, funny and totally believable.
And the soundtrack? Great!
I won’t give away any of the movie. Let’s just say that I didn’t like Jennifer Garner’s character at first and did at the end, loved Justin Batemen’s at first and didn’t at the end, though Juno’s boyfriend was really nerdy at the beginning but totally cool at the end and I rooted for Junothe entire time.
Oh and the soundtrack rocks. I’m off to buy a copy now.
This menopausal mom gives Juno eighteen thumbs up.
I even cried at the end.
But hell, I cry at everything nowadays.
Today I will leave you with a song:
