"Juno" was amazing, honest to blog

I'm not a big film person so usually I'll only go to a movie in a theater if it's something I really, really want to see, such was the case with "Juno." Amazing cast, hilarious script, and good soundtrack. It's true that the movie does try to be super indie (hence the good soundtrack), but there are only a couple of times I felt that it got a little annoying in that aspect.

Overall the story and characters seemed pretty realistic, except for a few lines ("That ain't no etch-a-sketch. This is one doodle that can't be un-did, homeskillet"), and the fact that Juno (Ellen Page) could spit out one-liners like it was nobody's business. One thing I didn't like was that Juno and Bleeker (Michael Cera) hardly talked while Juno was pregnant, even though they were "best friends." Clearly being best friends, having sex, and getting pregnant would make things awkward, but they pretty much went a whole season without talking. And it also was quite unrealistic that Bleeker's parents never found out. Believable or not though, Michael Cera was adorably awkward, and Ellen Page was incredible; reminded me of a mini Janeane Garafalo and someone else who I can't figure out yet.

On top of having a billion great lines that'll surely be quoted during all of 2008, the film was so freaking cute that I didn't know what to do with myself afterward. Seriously, watch this video and tell me you don't wish you could throw your acoustic guitar over your shoulder, bike to your significant other's house and together sing/play the Moldy Peaches' "Anyone Else But You":
