 never listen Jan 06, 2009
to reviews from others. A couple people told me about what a 'smart' movie this was. It was a great disappointment after all the mimicking of critics. I laughed once and I cringed several times due to the dialogue which was silly over the top computer slang which I'm sure is what will soon come to pass.(lol whatever that stands for.)Every character was the same and it was amateurish overall.The plot was decent but it's not like it took a great amount of originality since she admitted she cribbed it from ghost world. It's not like this woman actually went to the trouble to study films. It's a hole in one first shot from an amateur. Awful.

This movie was hilarious, I could not stop laughing even after watching it the third time. I highly recommend to those that are sarcastic because the main character is just so funny and great.

 Trying too hard.Dec 26, 2008
Have you ever known someone who put a tremendous amount of effort into being cool? They played guitar 'cause it was cool, were obsessed with classic rock even though they were born after Boy George was popular 'cause that's cool, say quippy little remarks and not care about anything because they are so cool, can rattle off obscure horror film directors, hang in living room furniture on the front lawn, have wacky bedroom decor and accessories like a food-shaped utilities cause they are so cool? If those people bug you, then like me, you will not enjoy this film. I get that sixteen-year-olds thought this film was really awesome. I think it is kind of pathetic that people who have gone to their ten-year high school reunions thought this was a really good film. It tried so hard to be cool it actually hurt to watch. This movie simply will not stand the test of time.

"He is the cheese to my macaroni..."Dec 25, 2008
Juno starring Ellen Page is delightfully hilarious but also frankly delicate especially the last half hour. Page is a talented actress, Juno came across immature at first but the character truly grows up before the viewers eyes. Michael Cera and Jennifer Garner really surprised me here, they hold their own around Page's dry wit. The dialogue is something else, you gotta hear it to believe it! And by the way a film cannot make you pregnant, so let's just set that myth straight. I highly recommend this too cool for its own good flick, enjoy!

 The chic set may like it, but I didn'tDec 24, 2008
However, I will add a star because of Ellen Page's performance, although I must admit it took a while to take hold with me. The first fourth of the movie she came off as a 26-year-old smart-mouth instead of a 16-year-old. Maybe the dialogue improved; maybe I just got used to it. My wife urged me to rent this film and then wondered why. About one-third of the way through, I ask her if she thought anything was ever going to happen. She replied that she hoped so, but it hadn't to that point. The attitude this film toward teenage pregnancy was so cavalier as to be off-putting on its own. I guess they've never heard that it is the number one cause of poverty among women. The movie hardly touched on the powerful emotions that such an experience would create in a young girl. There was the inevitable put-down of the only person in the movie who made any sense - the ultrasound technician. The Hollywood elites apparently thought it mandatory to allow moral relativism once again to triumph over common sense. And by the way, the music throughout this movie was insipid. From the technical perspective, the blu-ray had excellent colors and was crisp throughout.
