Double Feature
Today we watched Vantage Point and Juno, and the reviews are in: skip Vantage Point. It tries too hard to be creative, and it’s just not. There are too many characters, none of which are ever fully developed. Juno, on the other hand, is AWESOME. First off, it’s frickin’ hilarious….like in the way Superbad is hilarious, but nowhere near as raunchy. Secondly, it’s an incredibly frank look at adoption from both perspectives. To be honest, it’s the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. And any screenplay that can work in the phrase “It makes my boyfriend’s junk smell like pie” is a winner in my book. Go see Juno. You so totally won’t be sorry.

I liked the story of Vantage Point, but what I realized is they didn’t do any character development. I just wasn’t invested into any character.
