Movie: Juno

Last Saturday I opted to not spend my entire day playing World of Warcraft (more on that on a later date), and instead went out for a day with a couple of my friends to see Juno. The outing wasn't my idea- I wanted to see Cloverfield, but I also did not wish to be the one, tiny girl in a theatre filled with college-aged men.* This was a rare occasion for me, in that I actually did not see the trailer for Juno until the morning before I left.



The plot is simple: A teenage girl gets pregnant, and has to figure out what to do with the baby. But the writing and acting is excellent; Ellen Page who stars as the title character is a phenomenal young actress and the movie is nominated for a number of Academy Awards. You will laugh, you may cry, and you can bring your parents along, too. Seriously. Just go see it.

*As concluded by the massive line-up on opening weekend.
