Juno

[Fillmoe]

good movie... just got back from watching it

[atxrocker]

this movie has all the makings of a flick i can truly hate passionately. i hope i don't.

[spursfor]

The comment that Juno made about Sonic Youth really pissed me off and kind of took me out of the film.

[spursfor]

you know what took me out of the film?

the opening credits

because they were too long, i don't like that kind of animation, and the song lyrics were ing annoying

three chords and strings of rhyming couplets? and that was the ing soundtrack? are you ing kidding me?

Yeah that soundtrack sucked. I like singer-songwriter type music as much as the next person but the majority of the music sucked.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I know.

Wow, nominated for Best Picture...I guess they have to throw in a quirky comedy each year to offset all the depressing violent movies that always dominate the nominations each year. This is this years Little Miss Sunshine, I guess.

I think 3:10 to Yuma got screwed by not being nominated, personally.

Took the words right out of Mike Taylor's mouth.

I will refund your admission if you do not like this movie. That is how sure that I am that you will like it.

i saw it for free just now, and well... i tried not to hate it. i guess it was decent. 3-4 tops outta 10 from me. there were some things that really annoyed me about this movie. i agree with whoever said this movie tries too hard (and fails, imo)

The movie was mediocre at best.

Definitely overrated.

I'd put it a step above mediocre, but not a very big step.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Tried way, way, way too hard to be clever and witty.

"I have to pee like Seabiscuit." ?

Talk about contrived.

[atxrocker]

contrived is a perfect word for much of the dialogue in this move. and the ing hamburger phone pissed me off!

That was my biggest problem, as well.

The soundtrack was annoying, but I didn't hate it. And I liked the performances and the general plot just fine. But the actual script? Just way too pleased with itself.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I didn't mind the music. I did mind that it was playing constantly throughout the entire movie.

Death At A Funeral made me laugh much more than Juno did.

[thispego]

no country for old men was the . juno was about as funny as aids.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I didn't care for Little Miss Sunshine, either.

Movies like this and Juno generate a buzz and most people will say they liked it just because everybody else said they did, even though it's a rather mediocre movie. Being quirky for the sake of being quirky alone just isn't funny to me.

IMO, Thank You For Smoking was a much better film than both LMS/Juno, but generated much less press and WOM than the they did.

saw LMS in the last couple of days and i thought it was way better and didnt try as hard as juno to be cool. When Olive finally did her little performance I was laughing my ass off, for some reason I did not expect it.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Little Miss Sunshine was marginally better than Juno, but that isn't saying much.

I'd agree that the dialogue didn't feel as forced as it did in Juno.

I saw this at a screening before the general public knew a movie called Juno would ever exist and thought it was pretty good.

And conversely, movies like Juno can generate a buzz and film elitists will instinctively trash it because of the excessive acclaim it receives, even though it's a better movie than they'll give it credit for.

Very true.

I'm not a fan of these type of movies because they aren't funny to me.

To each his own.
