'Juno' reminds me of 'Knocked Up' and 'Napoleon Dynamite'

Maybe it's just me but I catch that vibe for several reasons (none of which spoil the movie in case you haven't seen it) The movie deals with an unexpected pregnancy to people that aren't prepared for a child. I'm sure there have been plenty of movies that are based on this but Knocked Up is pretty recent so it's the first one that comes to mind. Ok, so it's not too much like Knocked Up beyond that. As far as Napoleon Dynamite, this has a lot of the same features. This movie was made for about 7 or 8 Million so it has the low-budget feel to it. A few of the characters have some eccentricities (not as severe as the ND characters, but still...). There's a lot of unknown music playing throughout. The opening credits (and some writing throughout) have the handwritten block letter look that a lot of movies have been using. I'm horrible at trying to describe how a movie feels so I guess you'll have to watch it yourself. It really is a great movie. After watching it, please comment below so I can be sure that I'm not crazy. www.derekmartin81.com
