I'm not one to comment about a movie beyond the customary nod of approval or disdain upon exiting the theater; or in some random "what'd you do last night"conversation the ensuing day, but I'm going outside my comfort zone on this one. This lil' guy right here took me by surprise...not having any expectations beyond knowing that it had won some film festival and that the guy from 'Superbad' was in it; it was just another film that took up some space in the seemlingly random sequence of thoughts that run through my head. Going to see a movie like this was a crap-shoot, one that could leave a bad taste in my mouth, but it had credentials, so I felt confident.It was funny, well-written, had a unique soundtrack, was well acted and overall was a great movie where everyone in it, I felt, contributed something to the overall 'greatness.' Now I can say with complete confidence that I'll pretty much like anything in movie form--I'm a movie person. But it's rare that I will enjoy something so much that it gives me cause to write about it.
Juno is a good movie. Go see it--it's worth the ridiculous ticket price.
