Ironic

So, oddly enough today we watched the movie Juno. This is ironic because not only was it Fathers' Day (oh Jason Bateman...) but it was my Adoption Day. How's that for irony?

We had rented Juno Saturday, but didn't end up watching it until Sunday afternoon. I had mixed feelings. Ellen Page was hilarious and her on-screen family was amazing. The adoptive "family" however struck a nerve or two. I hated how the movie painted Jennifer Garner's character as the "crazy" one, rather than her dead-beat husband. It was like they were trying to make the audience love Jason Bateman's character for his connection with Juno, which I frankly thought was ridiculously inappropriate. He embodied so many of the shortcomings of the modern-man from his laziness to giving up on his marriage when it wasn't working for him. Then there was the kicker which hit one of my pet peeves...Jennifer Garner's character adopted the baby anyway.

So close.

At least we got to see what we think we would be like when we have kids. Our sense of humor runs much more along these lines...sarcasm will abound. Definitely nice to see something "real" and not too far on the side of "the most beautiful experience in the world". That's so not going to be us...now we won't feel guilty =P
