To Rent or Not To Rent?

The movie in question tonight... well you guessed it!
Juno!

The Story: Juno is a 16 yr old girl who finds herself pregnant by her best friend. She then decides to give her baby up for adoption. The movie follows her throughout her pregnancy.

Best Character: Leah
Leah, Juno's teacher loving best girlfriend is such a quirky delight in every scene she shows up in. Her lines are memorable as well as her very colorful outfits. She is always there for Juno, if it be during a prenatal ultrasound or filling a boys mailbox with orange flavored tic-tacs. You can't help but laugh every time you see her or cringe when she talks about her love for her 'sexy math teacher Keith'.

Best Scene: The Jogging Scene
This scene which occurs near the beginning of the movie helps you get a feel for what the rest of the film will bring. The colorful way that Juno describes the "pork swords" cracks you up while grossing you out at the same time. It helps break up the tension of Juno telling Bleaker about the baby and keeps the moving flowing on a funny note!

Funniest Quote!
Bren: When you move out I'm getting Weimaraners!
Juno: WHOA DREAM BIG!
Bren: Oh, go fly a kite!


So all in all I would put Juno as a Must Have!
Don't just rent it, BUY it!

That's it for now. More to come later.

Until then, I'm just Simply Bitsie!
