NOTE: This is a non-spoiler (for those who haven't watched it yet).
Yesterday, as I was squirming on the couch due to really big time cramps, I decided to watch Juno to distract myself from the pulsating pain that I have on my belly. Fortunate for me, the pain subsided and I was able to watch the movie in an upright position. LOL!
So anyway, I really enjoyed watching the movie. I don't understand why Aris said that there were some who didn't even bother to finish the movie and just left. I, on the other hand would watch it again. I like the fact that it's a different take on teenage life and teenage pregnancy. I understand why some individuals and organizations do not approve of the content of the movie. They say that it implies PMS and that it is okay to get pregnant even when in high school. I don't think this or any particular movie should be condemned because of its content. Movies are (mostly) fictional. It is still the choice of these teens if they want to do PMS. Even if these children watch a lot of these kind of movies, if they are brought up well, educated and loved "properly" by their parents then I feel that they wouldn't "copy" what the movie is showing.
If you haven't seen this movie, I suggest you do. The lines are funny and the role portrayals aren't the usual. And for the sake of those "concerned citizens", kids, this is just a movie. :-)

i liked this movie, too...pretty cool! hubby & i watched it together (at sya pa ang nag-download!)
I saw the actresses and the screen writer for the movie being interviewed on Oprah. Highly recommended too. I doubt my country will allow this movie to be aired.. so will have to wait for 'clear-non-cinema-non-censored-copy' pirated dvds.. mhahahahaha
gracie: hahaha! nice kasi nga... I told Aris to watch it and told him na wag sya maniwala sa mga news na yung iba di tinapos. LOL! I like the soundtrack din... Downloaded it already. :-)
papams: I have one... want to borrow it? Hahaha! ;-)
I think it's one of those movies that are based on real feelings/event dramas... Created in a somewhat lighter mood, but still there's a moral to the story and a tinge of hope for the seemingly hopeless!
i agree with everything you said! loved it and saw the actress on oprah- she seems really poised and down to earth
marie: Yup I agree! It shows that even if it seems that world is going to end, something is bound to happen that will make things better in the long run. :-)
gablonde: Hey thanks for dropping by. Hmmm... I haven't seen the interview. Better check it in youtube. ;-D
