Juno


I loved this movie. But I don't think I was supposed to bawl so hysterically at the end, I really don't. It was beautiful and sad and I absolutely loved it. A very gentle movie. Maybe it's because I was adopted, or because I want a third child pretty badly and it's doubtful that's going to happen - I don't know. But I cried snuffly ugly tears at the end - the red-faced, blow-your-nose kind of tears.

I'm still glad I watched it.

I cried at the end of Juno, too. (We just watched it a couple of weeks ago.) I don't think it's weird at all! In fact, I'm about to cry right now just thinking about it. The parents stick by Juno, the uptight prospective mom is redeemed by Juno's confidence in her even as a single mom, and Juno even gets to keep her adorable high school boyfriend!

Awesome.

I love the way her parents defend her - they tell her she's stupid but they do whatever it takes to help her. I can't think of a better way to parent, even though it looks a little rough in the movie sometimes. And when they all go racing out of the house when her water breaks, like some military operation - that's when I started to get teary - I loved it.
