Ow, Ow, F*ckity Ow!

It’s time once again for Moog’s Movie Reviews!!

Where my $17 a month membership to Netflix...

...and my maintenance of this site to give you honest movie reviews...

...hardly seems worth all the f*cking trouble.

SEND MONEY!


Sorry.

Today, I'm reviewing another movie off my Netflix list:

"Juno"


I'm pulling no punches here:

I.

LOVE.

THIS MOVIE.

I saw this movie in the theater...

(the other choice was "I am Legend" - which should have been titled, "I am Kinda Lame")

...and HAD to rent it when it came out on DVD.


It's a movie about a high school girl, Juno (Ellen Page) who gets pregnant by her geeky boyfriend Bleeker (Michael Cera) and the ensuing hilarity that accompanies all teenage pregnancies.

Actually..when I write it that way..it doesn't sound that funny.


When you add Jason Bateman into the mix though, you get two of the characters from one of the funniest, underrated television shows on the face of the planet, "Arrested Development."

Then it got canceled.

DAMN YOU, FOX TELEVISION...DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!


But I digress.

If you find it hard to get into "independent" films...it might take you a while to get into "Juno" (unlike Bleeker).

It's full of weird hippie-style music...

...it comes across as low-budget...

...the Juno character is actually a pretty weird girl...

...and Jason Bateman's character gets REALLY creepy, like, halfway through.


But stick with it and give it a chance.

It's awesome and will leave a smile on your face.

Trust me.

I wouldn't lie to you.

Especially if you send money.

Thanks in advance.

My Score:

3-1/2 Mooge Splats (out of a possible four)


Moog out.
