CM gave me the link of trailer for Juno. Before that I have never even heard of the movie. It was released on a pretty small scale.
Go have a look at the trailer:-
Juno Trailer
If I were to describe it you would most definitely think this is just another teen flick. It’s about this 16-year-old girl who got pregnant. And then decided to keep it for adoption.
But I am telling you, this movie is very different from the rest. It totally spells out R-E-A-L-I-T-Y. Instead of that totally overrated High School Musical goo. Of course it does have some it’s-a-movie characteristics such as like her parents were pretty cool and supportive of her despite the fact that she was only 16. But I guess a big part of it is due to the fact that she isn’t that ditzy, flirtatious, party girl. From the very first scene, you would love Juno (the character). The actress, Ellen Page, did a really good job and no one else could have replaced her. Just take a look at the trailer, you’ll know what I mean.
Oh, Jennifer Garner also starred in this movie as one of the adoptive parents of Juno’s baby. She’s known for her role as Sydney Bristol in Alias. The actor playing her husband is Jason Bateman who you would know if you watch Arrested Development. Also, do you remember his son in Arrested Development? Yeah he’s in it too as the guy who made Juno pregnant.
I love how the movie starts. And the opening music too. The soundtrack of Juno is well…how do I put it…quirky and light. The whole movie would be labeled as quirky and full of humorous sarcasm. I’m not trying to say that not everyone is er…"made" for this movie but you have to be able to identify sarcasm when you see it to be able to laugh while watching.
The total runtime of the movie is only about 90 minutes. Not exactly long enough but it pretty much did its job effectively. The whole purpose of the movie is to deliver a whole new perspective of the whole teenage pregnancy thing. For so long, teen pregnancy has always been perceived as something dreaded, heavy and despicable. This movie helped shed new light. It’s neither pro- nor anti-teen pregnancy which is the best place it should stand.
Trust me, if the trailer has much appeal to you, go get the movie immediately. Well I think mostly girls would love it. But I’ve seen guys who loved it. Forget about action-packed, gore-filled and horror movies for once. Give Juno a chance.
P.S. I forgot to mention, Juno was nominated for the Oscars Award 2008. So yeah, it sums up how good this movie is.
Lyrics for my fave song of Juno OST.
ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU
PERFORMED BY MICHAEL CERA & ELLEN PAGE
(originally performed by The Moldy Peaches)
You’re a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you’re back is the latest trend
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage
I want more fans, you want more stage
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
You are always trying to keep it real
[Anyone Else But You lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
I’m in love with how you feel
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body’s swinging from side to side
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can’t, you forgive me?
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
