Juno


If you haven't seen Juno yet, you must. Do not bring your children. Just bring your spouse/honey and any in uteros you may be carrying.

Contrary to Hollywood.com, whose reviewer can't believe any teen out there is having unprotected sex (?), this is a real film. I would even say more real than Bella.

My favorite bit to chew on at the moment is the social commentary on perpetual adolescence. The 16 year-old pregnant Juno finds her heroic little self through losing her little self. The 30 something almost-adoptive dad Mark loses his chance to lose himself and slips back into the pubescent dreamings of, well, most 30 somethings.
