Ghost World
Movies Like Juno If You’re Looking for Something Similar
Based on Daniel Clowes’ graphic novel of the same name, Ghost World is a black comedy about a witty and cynical pair of oddball teens, namely Enid and Rebecca (Thora Birch and Scarlett Johannsson), and their lives as social outcasts in a small and nameless American town.
While the movie starts off by showing us the strange yet close relationship between the eccentric duo and how they cope with their small town lives, things soon get dramatic when Enid suddenly starts infatuating over a much older man (Steve Buscemi) and his quest to find a lover.
With Enid determined to help him, and Rebecca bent on putting a stop to this peculiar turn of events, a rift starts forming between the two that puts their friendship to the test.
This unconventional film might not be everyone’s cup of tea, as its mixed box office reception proved, but it has since garnered a dedicated cult following. If you’re looking for something completely different from the usual fare, we can’t recommend Ghost World enough.
Why is it like Juno? It takes us through the drama of being an unusual soul in your average small town.
