So it wasn't as precious as I feared. And once you divorce the hype behind its Oscar nominations, Juno
is a nice little gem of a movie.See, I was afraid that Diablo Cody's screenplay for it would be so hip, ironic and of-the-moment that it would date the film years from now. And as Entertainment Weekly and Glenn Kenny at Premiere both pointed out, "honest to blog" it will. With too-clever slang like "pork-sword" for the male organ, and curses like "Phuket, Thailand" for "F*** It", the film does tap into today's kids and their crafty doublespeak meant to keep adults out of the loop. Like The Breakfast Club
is forever an 80s movie, and American Pie
is distinctly 90s, Juno is one for the 00s (double aughts?).
