17 Again

When Mike (Matthew Perry) was in high school he was popular, the basketball star, and had an amazing girlfriend. His life is on a great path until she gets pregnant and everything changes. Not happy with the way his life turned out Mike now in his 30's wishes he could go back and magically he falls into a river and comes out 17 again. Now he see if being young is as great as he remembered. When I started to watch this I expected it to be really corny, but found it to be funny and very entertaining. Efron did a pretty good job and is definitely growing up to be one of the next heartthrob's.

Juno

When young Juno (Ellen Page) gets pregnant she realizes she cannot go through with an abortion and decides she wants to give her baby up for adoption. She finds the perfect couple to adopt when she meets Mark (Jason Bateman) and Vanessa (Jennifer Garner). As the pregnancy progresses she realizes that this will be tougher than she first thought. This is a wonderful movie. Very funny in its sarcastic wit and the characters are all perfectly chosen.

Quinceanera

This is a film about the 15-year old coming-of-age celebration that is a part of the Mexican culture. As the main character Magdalena's birthday approaches she realizes she is pregnant and her family refuses to believe that she is still a virgin. During the estrangement from her family she forms a close relationship with her ostracized gay cousin Carlos and learns that there are much more important things in life than having a great party. I really enjoyed this movie and think it is worth watching.
