I have to admit, I had some doubts that it would be some sort of American Pie movie. But looking at the comments, I've always liked Indie movies. My best friend wants to watch this so maybe I'll go see it with her.

Her music is in this movie. Or, at the very least, her music is in one of trailers I saw a long time ago. That is a bit of encouragement - I'm sure the film is charming.

However, I've really been slacking on my film studies (three Netflix rentals have been sitting on my VCR for more than three weeks, not good) and I need to get serious. I have a lot of movies I really want to, and or feel I need to, see. Juno isn't exactly a priority.

Oh yeah, one of the first thing I noticed when the beginning credits started was "music by Kimya Dawson," which excited me a lot. Pretty much the entire movie was Kimya Dawson/The Moldy Peaches, plus like 2 Belle and Sebastian songs, so I was pretty happy with that.

It definitely was a charming movie. I'd heard bad things about the writing, and the beginning made me a little weary, because it seemed to be trying too hard with the dialog, but it improved. There were enough redeeming qualities to the movie to outweigh the ambivalences of the writing. I'm inclined to say it's a bit overrated, and possibly overhyped, but I also don't enjoy seeing movies in crowded theaters, because people miss the clever jokes and laugh too long at stupid shit that is too ostentatious to be funny. I don't watch sitcoms with laugh tracks, so I certainly don't want them to my movies. An indie loses some of its charm when treated like a Hollywood box office smash. But maybe I'm just bitter to be back in the suburbs...

You will definitely not regret it! It's quickly becoming one of my favorite movies.

It was a great movie, soundtrack is pretty fierce too.
I seriously laughed through the whole movie, just her personality is great.
tho at one point just wanted to cry for her.

Really a great movie,
go see it.

Cute movie, a date movie..not something you would go see with your guy friends..if you were a guy..

I think it let out a good option for teens to go with an open adoption then having an abortion and all..I think they nailed the personalities as well

^Yeah, exactly. wtf.
But regardless, it really isn't that difficult to sneak into movies. Buy a ticket for something else, go into the theater you actually want. I almost did that the other day for Sweeney Todd sheerly because I was too lazy to get my license out.

I loved Juno. Ellen Page was an absolute darling. I loved her character so much. I do kind of wish they did more with Michael Cera; his character seemed like the kind of guy who would be really involved in the whole process, and he really wasn't there that much for the actual duration of the pregnancy. And the way her parents reacted ALMOST wasn't believable...I don't know about you guys, but my parents would not be so placid about that.

I finally saw it today with my mom. It was kind of awkward at first, but she ended up really liking it. I loved it. It was really refreshing to see a movie like that. I sort of want to go see it again.

This is my pick for Best Picture in a Comedy or Musical.

This movie's raw honesty of how teenagers act is definitely the best comedy I've seen in ages. I love Ellen Page and Michael Cera but without being partial, I recommend everyone to see this movie. My pick for 07.

He wasn't a pedophile father. He was never a father in the first place. They divorce before Jennifer Garner got the baby. So in conclusion, he was a pedophile straight up.
