Dianne re Juno

Since Juno was the only best picture nominated for an Academy Award that I hadn’t seen yet, I decided to go today. And I agree with Liz, it is the Little Miss Sunshine of this award season, only better. It touches on so many types of relationships, good and bad, and yet gives us hope. I couldn’t help but think while watching the show how supportive Juno’s parents were when she announced her pregnancy. Even though Juno’s real mom long abandoned her for a new family, Juno has the kind of self-esteem that can get someone through anything life dishes out. I give it a High Five, as did today’s Saturday matinee audience, which was surprisingly large for a movie that’s been out for a long time. Reminds me of the audiences going to My Big Fat Greek Wedding a few seasons ago. So much to like and, well, what’s not to like?
