Juno - 4 Tubs

Sperm isn't the only thing being randomly sown in this movie. Popcorn, soda cups, candy wrappers, gum wrappers, hamburger wrappers....everything but condom wrappers, cover the floor and seats as irresponsible humanoids leave an orgy of litter in their wake in Juno.

As if Hollywood can't get enough laughs over ripping off God (First Sunday), now it thinks it's hilarious when teens get pregnant and get to trade their babies like Yu-Gi-Oh cards rather than actually raise their spawn. The parents, upon learning that their daughter has been having sex out of wedlock simply shrug their shoulders in wonder that a geek named Bleeker had it in him to ejaculate inside their daughter. The only bad guy in this movie is the husband and potential father-to-be who puts his own happiness in front of his wife's - who is portrayed by the drop dead gorgeous Jennifer Garner. But he's not the only selfish person in this movie - (after all, the teens put their own lust before the wise counsel of their parents). Didn't we all make the same mistake and regret it later? Don't we all want our kids to wait until they meet the right person before they become 'sexually active'? Weren't Juno's parents especially quick to forego their rights as grandparents rather than be involved in this child's life? Nor are the selfish characters limited to the movie. The fans of this movie, pigs that they are, are too good to take out their own trash. They leave it for the lame and out of touch, and extremely responsible ushers to clean up their mistakes.

Next time you decide to screw us ushers, at least put your junk in the trash bag first.
