Review: Juno (2007)

I managed to get free tickets to a preview screening at my local cinema last night (thankyou Orange), and I must say, had heard little other than praise for the film, I knew little of what it was about, and as I sat in my seat I looked around me.  It was an extremely surreal view, college couples, college girls, and one couple in their 70s, sitting in the middle of it all.  They must have wondered whether they had chosen the right film to go to.  And although the language, and plot was youthful, I do like to think they did not regret it after the film had ended.

It was a really nice film, with nice characters that you care about (which is rare, as most nice characters start to annoy me after a while), the humour was also well placed, and tastefully done even in the less tasteful situations.  There were times when I cringed in preperation for what I expected to be a cringeworthy moment that never came, whilst these weren't twists, they went across unexpected territory, and in a good way too, keeping the focus on the correct aspects of the story.

I was overall, surprised, and pleased by the film, and would recommend it to others, although it is more appealing to girls!  Being in a cinema surrounded by ladies, watching a film primarily about children, there were the odd doting wanabe parents around cooing, but thats good, the rest of the audience were obviously getting close to the situation and characters because of this.
