“He is the cheese to my macaroni…”
Out of sheer boredom at home on a Wednesday night (and besides, I’m feeling too awake for a night cap), I decided to grab some random DVD at home and watch Juno. And today I found out that we actually have a shared copy of the movie in one of our shared folders at the office. What did I think of the movie? Well… uhmmm… hmmm… LOVE IT!!! ^_^
The movie was all about some teenage girl named Juno (played by Ellen Page) who got pregnant [quite unexpectedly] after doing it with a local boy from the neighborhood, Bleeker (Michael Cera). Jennifer Garner was also among the flick’s cast, who played the role of Vanessa, a wife who was unable to conceive a child and wanted to adopt Juno’s baby after birth. Little did she know that her hubby wants out of their marriage. Towards the end of the movie, Juno eventually realized that Bleek (Juno’s fond nickname for the guy) is actually her true love. As she puts it, “I think I’m in-love with you… I mean, for real. ‘Coz you’re like the coolest person I’ve ever met, and… and you don’t even have to try, you know. You’re like naturally smart, and you’re not like everyone else; you don’t stare at my stomach all the time; you look at my face and everytime I see you the baby starts kicking super hard…” Now THAT is unconventionally SWEET!!! ^_^
Now while I’m a big fan of gushy romantic flicks, Juno came as a refreshing change. The main protagonist herself is an unconventional teen for her age. I sooo love the flick, especially the main theme “Anyone Else But You” by The Moldy Peaches (Ellen Page and Michael Cera also did a movie version of the song, which I liked way much better!!!). It’s a semi-sorta Indie-type of song but it’s soo damn sweet… at least in an unconventional way, that is.
