Judd Apatow has seriously dominated the comedy genre of movies in the past year or two.
Anchorman, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad, and now Forgetting Sarah Marshall are outrageously hilarious.
Similar casting of flexible actors are in all of the films.
This is “the kind of movie you could watch all day because, like a new flame, you can’t get enough of its company and are just glad to see where it takes you.”
Plus Mila Kunis, one of the most beautiful actresses in the world, has a large part in it <3!
I went and watched Juno on Saturday with a few friends. I’m not sure why, but it’s movies like this that really hold a spot in my heart. Anyone who knows me well, will say that my favorite movie ever is Garden State; which it is. I’ve seen it over ten times…
I think the reason why I enjoyed this movie so much is because the main character, Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) is so charming and lovely. Seriously, I am in love with her. After you quickly start to grasp her personality (using humor to deal with the situation), you just want to give her a big hug.
It received a well deserved 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, including 100% from the “Cream of the Crop”.
The movie hits well on all accords. It is modern and funny, yet sad at times. You can tell that there is great chemistry between the actors and this is proof once again that a film does not need a huge budget to be great.
The movie was damn good. I definitely had a lot to think about afterwards. I love movies that make me think.
A few complaints, as usual. Ford product placement was too obvious. And, the movie relied on sound to be scary. There were so many scenes where it’d be dead silent and then BAM, something loud to scare the audience. That got old, fast.
