Rampidbyter Rampid byter: A byte of my .Net developing life.

What can I say about Juno? Well, I can’t really say a whole lot. The name really does say it all. It’s a simple name, not much to it, and it references something either very mystical or very plain. Be it an obtuse city name or the mythical wife of Zeus.  The story starts off with a very, retro, new-age, well it starts off with a kind of cutout introduction to the movie. The soundtrack to the whole movie really can be felt from the song played during the introduction, acoustical, with some random next door neighbor kid with a voice you neither loath nor love. It’s just kind of mellow. The movie is mellow. If you could take an inanimate object, turn it into the embodiment of a movie, well this movie would be a recliner. You can just sit down, feeling tired, put the legs out, feel bold put the leg down. It’s fluffy enough to be comfortable, but firm enough to keep you in the upright posture. It’s just kind of there, and not subject to much of the abuse that the coach gets.

The movie centers around one girl, who sleeps with her best friend and band mate. She becomes pregnant, tells him, and then voyages on deciding eventually to keep the child. Only, she did decide to give it up to adoption, and went on a journey to find the new foster parents. Eventually, through many very long verbally exhaustive scenes of spunky, in your face, but with a low-key sarcastic diatribe we find the newly begotten foster family.

Long story short, foster family falls apart; girl has a mini break down, has an epiphany, and then unloads the new child to the now single soon to be foster mother. The movie continues on its merry little way with the same rhythmic mellow lyrics playing in the background. If you enjoy some witty banter, sarcastic elusions, and a new-age coming of age movie that lacks forced learned lessons this is the movie for you.
