Those first ten minutes were painful, as every line tried to be some great one liner and generally failed.

After that (about the time Michael Cera's character got introduced, and they were done setting up Juno as this super-quirky character) I grew to enjoy it quite a bit, though I never got into her best friend, where all the other characters worked for me.

Almost, anyway. How could a girl who digs Iggy & the Stooges, Patti Smith, Mott the Hoople and The Moldy Peaches etc not have heard any song by Sonic Youth?

Also, there was a girl who sat behind me, who audibly laughed three times in the cinema. Each time was in the previews, when someone in the shitty comedies they were advertising got hit in the head with something. Man, she loved that shit - each time she laughed was more uproarious than the last.

Good flick. Not sure it deserves all the nominations it's getting but it's definitely worth the watch.

Is it just me or did the time-frame of that movie seem a bit ambiguous (one one hand you have pretty modern studio equipment of (LCD monitors etc) that guy Jason Bateman played, but everything else about the props (still using VHS on a huge TV?) and dialogue ("thundercats are go?") was like from 10-15 years ago)...or am i just not used to indie fashion? :p

i thought that too. she liked all my music except sonic youth, it was weird.

loved the soundtrack with belle and sebastian featuring heavily, though.

i thought it was going to be a complete ball fest

'silencio'
'honest to blog'
'fo shizz up the spazz'

not sure what to say about it in general
it was ok

can't believe reitman is up for best director

according to an article on the film, ellen page selected the soundtrack because she thought that was the kind of music juno would listen to.

i think that should be used against her winning the oscar.

maybe the soundtrack in relation to what she says she listens to was supposed to highlight the vulnerability beneath her tough/wiseass exterior.

dunno why i didn't think of that before.

I actually thought the idea of the soundtrack was that it's the sort of music she created, like it was a post-hoc narration of the events as she'd written them in song... this being alluded to with the song at the end that they do.

Btw I also hated the music.
