Last night we watched Juno. We both liked it and I ended up calling a friend and suggesting he should see it as well. The movie deals with some heavy issues: teenage sex, teenage pregnancy, abortion, adoption, marriage, divorce, etc. Still, at it’s core, it’s a sweet and often humorous drama. They chose a very good group of actors to depict this story, although (after watching “Ten Things I Hate About You”) I kept wondering if Juno’s step-mom, played by Allison Janney, would find a way to use the word “tumescent.” But that didn’t happen.

i was under the impression that Juno was directed by the same guy who directed Knocked Up because it’s about an unexpected pregnancy, plus Michael Cera stars as Juno’s boyfriend (he was one of the goofy kids from Superbad, a close relative of Knocked Up), but it turns out this is not the case
