We finally watched a good movie. Juno was such a nice heartfelt movie about how a young girl copes when she finds she is pregnant at age 15. So many movies show the bad side of this situation. It is not the most desirable thing that a family wants to deal with but it happens. We can choose to make it into a big horrible deal or accept it for what it is and deal with it as a loving family. It was nice to see this family portrayed as a normal one. Instead of sugar coating everything, the movie gave another side to the situation. I enjoyed it. I loved the clothes that Juno wore. She looked so cute and comfy. I loved when her step mother told off the ultrasound technician who had a holier than you attitude. Boy, did she put her in her place. It was great. I enjoyed the love story about two young kids. Hubby and I started dating when I was 16 and this movie brought back some good memories. (I am not talking about memories of having sex in a chair. We didn’t do that stuff.)

I cannot wait to see the new movie, Baby Mama. It looks hilarious. Kate Holbrook has always climbed the corporate ladder and now she sees that she should have taken time to have a baby. She decides to have a surrogate carry a baby for her. It works out that Angie Ostrowiski will be having her baby. I will have to watch the movie to find out why Angie lives with Kate. It looks like a crazy combination. Maybe it will be like the Odd Couple?

Tonight’s movie is on dvd. Lions for Lambs is intriguing. It shows how different people deal with the aspects of war. We all say would do this or that but when put into a situation we find that things are not black and white.
