Kristina's Movie Review Corner - Juno

I saw the movie "Juno" and was pleasantly surprised. The movie is quirky and off-beat, a little bit in the vein of "Little Miss Sunshine" (another really fun movie!) It tells the story of Juno, a 16 year-old girl living in Minnesota, who accidentally gets pregnant and decides to give the baby up for adoption. The soundtrack is full of sweet, folk/indie tunes and the cast is made up of lots of fun and memorable characters. It's well written and it even won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Not bad! "Juno" is light-hearted and fun...if you are in the mood for something deep and profound, then this might not be your movie, but if you want something touching and entertaining, then I definitely recommend it!

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! Yeah- I did see "Into the Wild" (there is a blog post about it, too!) and I really really liked it. I saw "No Country for Old Men"...it won 'Best Picture' which is a big honor, however I wasn't crazy about it. The acting was good, but it was too violent for me to fully enjoy it. What did you think?
