Juno

From time to time we take a break from just being funny to provide various services to our readers. We help inform you of important news of the day, keep you up on fashion trends and generally define what's cool and what's not - because we are the authorities. Tonight we'll help you choose your entertainment.

Saw Juno and highly recommend. It's a heartwarming little story of a spunky teen who gets knocked up by the skinny kid from Superbad. (Don't think we previously reviewed Superbad for you but it was Superawesome, we also highly recommend.) Juno was sort of like a long episode of Freaks and Geeks - smart kids who are mature beyond their years and the funny characters around them. All of the performances were great, even mannish Jennifer Garner made me like her, and that's not an easy task. That's not to say there weren't lots of good man shots of her face, but in all she was enjoyable. Also enjoyed that fact that the nerdy love interest was a jew - no mention of the fact but he had lots of good jew-orabilia in his room. Love Alison Janney and that scary guy from Oz is adorable when he's not raping male inmates. Definitely worth the 11 bucks - although of course if you can get someone else to pay it makes it all that much more enjoyable. Stay away from the 40 ounce water bottles, they'll make you pee all night and they are sort of like trying to drink from a basketball, you can barely fit your fingers around it.

this movie stinks like the men's john in Yankee Stadium after a 1:00 day game in July with 90% humidity. In other words, it may seem delicious to some, but you certainly don't wanna waste 110 minutes of your life inhaling these romantic-comedy fumes. Yuck.
