if somebody paid me 1,000 to care, i would care about this movie. now if you want me to actually watch juno that'll cost you 50,000.

The conforming non-conformist. The whole lot of them.

And anyways, she looks and sounds like the Avril Lavigne of the "acting genre." I wonder whose writing Miss Page's script on how to behave and dress and what to "aspire" to.
Icelandic rock? How very, very, um, contrived. Yes, that's the word. Contrived.

Hate to burst the hate bubble, but this movie is actually good. There is so much shit out there, why deprive yourself of a good movie just because other people like it?

Having said all that, I would have recommended abortion as an option.

Bubble still intact. But, thanks for trying.

don't burst my hate bubble, i can't survive outside of it. i'm not going to see this movie because it looks like a chick flick and I HATE CHICK FLICKS! give me a horror movie any day.

My boyfriend says he won't watch it because they talk like the Gilmore Girls. I can picture him in the theater yelling, "NO ONE TALKS LIKE THAT!!"

my husband got mad because he said johnny depp was on screen too much in sweeny todd. i'm thinking, maybe that's because he's the main character. men are stupid sometimes.

I hated the bombast for Knocked Up and Superbad way more than for Juno.

Another teen flick. This is one that I'll pass on thanks. I experience the real thing being a parent. Don't need to see it on the screen. The real thing is scary enough thank you.

The dialogue in the movie is actually rather witty and the film is entertaining. It has nothing to do with terminating or not terminating (although i am not opposed to it) but, the lengths that someone would go to provide something for someone that couldn't achieve it themselves. Plus, its just a movie: don't see it if you don't want but, don't knock to you do.

I actually saw it with a friend of mine on Sunday, and it was definitely decent. There was some funny dialogue, and I've liked Ellen Page ever since Hard Candy. I'm also pretty vehemently pro-choice, and I didn't really get offended by the way they portrayed her choice to keep the baby. All in all, I didn't find it scorn-worthy… just maybe a little pretentious at times. But I still laughed hard at parts of it!

YOU SUCK! This movie is GREAT! And the fact that you're judging it before you even see it makes your opinion to the movie un-creditable. I know these sights are all about opinion, but this movie is good and should not be judged by someone who hasn't even seen it!

She did such a good job in Hard Candy it actually made me feel sorry for the pedophile!!
I hope this movie has no castration simulations…

This movie reminds me of people who "try too hard." Juno is trying too hard to be quirky and sweet…and to people who've seen movies that are actually quirky, unique, and clever without the media blitz, it's just annoying. Ghost World was an awesome movie, but it wasn't shoved into everyone's face and slutted out like Juno. WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! I SWEAR, IT'S ORIGINAL AND OFFBEAT!!! ummmm, probably not. Doesn't look very inspired to me.

eh, Kimya Dawson does the music for it…if it ever comes to my little hole of a town I will definately see it…I probably will never have to make that decision, though.

YOU ALL SUCK! none of you have even seen it! so how can you say all these bad things about it? if any of you go see it and it is still as bad as you think, then your opinions will have some credibility… but for right now YOU SUCK

ashley we got it the first time babe, saying it twice doesn't make it more effective.

best,
deimos

p.s. why does it matter to you what we think about the movie anyways?

YEAH, YOU GUYS ALL SUCK! SUCK I SAY. Now watch me storm off and change my pampers.

HOW DARE YOU NOT LIKE A MOVIE THAT I LIKE! HOW DARE YOU! YOU ALL SUCK!

PS, I LOVE PETE WENTZ

LOVE, ASHLEY

Ellen, I mean Ahsley…you'll understand when you grow up.

Ashley: YOU SUCK - at reading comprehension. I said nothing about it being good or bad. Janice was not negative about it, Mister and Beth liked it. Find a more credible outlet for your teen angst, ok?

Why am I always late to the party?

because that's how you roll lisa.

Cord, for fucks sake! Sometimes a movie is just a movie. There isn't always an agenda behind everything. Not everyone is trying to brainwash us. It's not like this is an Oliver Stone movie or anything.

I was going to watch it because Micheal Cera is in it and he's awesome (I was hoping that Maebe would play Juno…that would be kind of pervy though).

I saw it, it was decent…pretty entertaining…kinda full of itself (dialogue-wise), but still pretty well done. As for Ashley…go crawl under a rock…you're taking others opions of a movie you have nothing to do with far too personally. YOU SUCK!

Dei: yeah. When will I learn to make an enterance not a fool of myself? Probably never.

Maybe when you stop drinking before the party. Why do I always have to tell you this? Come to the party first. It always looks sad when you show up all drunk like that.

I think that perhaps Cord just needs to heed juju's advice and show up to the movie drunk. Hell, I almost enjoyed that movie "XXX" (with Vin Diesel) because I was plowed before I went into the movie theatre. I walked out sober, so that was a little upsetting

It's always upsetting to sober up during a bad movie. That's why god invented flasks and hating people who are different. Yay, Huckabees.

I really wanted to like Juno, but I was quickly alienated by the meticulously planned "indie quirk" with which every single line of the damn film was inundated. It wasn't just the dialog, every single frame was full of annoying hipster pop culture.

I heart Huckabees (no I don't, but that was another terrible movie).

I haven't given an opinion on the movie. I have read reviews and seen trailers for it. My opinion is more or less based on the whole perceived "aura" of the movie being deep, meaningful and quirky, and the scripted persona of the star as far as her personal life and tastes are concerned. I stand behind my original verdict: Contrived.

I fail to see how (a) bookmarking a music website makes you a "liberal" and (b) how being pro-life makes you a "liberal." Most liberals are pro-choice.

I'll still read your website though…even though you make no sense. Stop with the political rants and stick with the celebrity gossip, K? Big words are for the adults!

I chose to give my daughter up for adoption(nearly 7 years ago). I can't believe a stripper beat me to the movie. Crap, now I have to bring out the big guns for my nonfictional novel. And if we want to get REAL specific, she ripped the story off a 2005 Korean movie 'Jenny, Juno.' Feckin' strippers.

And another note, she's going to bed with Ben Foster, she must be doing something right.

Juno got a 93% at http://www.rottentomatoes.com and I'm guessing that not all the reviewers were recommending it because it sends the right message to your teenage slut.

Plus, Kimya Dawson music is the shit. Plus plus, read some real reviews (Roger Ebert liked it).

Maybe the movie sounded too hip and contrived for its own good, but that may be secondary to the fact that most 16 year old girls do indeed sound that way.

Oh, Cord. *dramatic sigh*

aight, none of you actually suck, save the people who (a) praise the hiltons… paris or perez, and (b) write in ALLCAPS, i must say juno was one hell of a movie.

Granted i saw it on opening weekend and didn't have all the critics cramming their opinions about the movie's quirkiness down my throat, but man alive, if i didn't really love it.

I laughed, I cried. It was better than Cats.

I kind of wish I had seen Superbad before everyone told me how superawesome it was. I liked it but I wasn't superwhelmed.

Plus it's got Jason Bateman. If you don't love Jason Bateman, then the terrorists have won.

I whole-heartedly agree Cord; I so wish that encouaging abortions for unplanned pregnancies would come back into vogue again (that, and cashmere hoodies: so cozy and soft!).

All this, "I'm pro-choice but isn't it wonderful that Jamie Lynn/ Kathy Heigel's character in Knocked Up/ Juno decided to inflict their spawn on the world?" makes me want to stab someone.

See a doctor. Have it taken care of. Send a monthly check to some foster kid program that supports a one of the MILLIONS of children who were unplanned, too, and live miserably as a result. Maybe it doesn't make for a compelling film or sell OK magazines, but Good Lord, THAT would be refreshing and truly ORIGINAL.

I'd rather have her jammed down my throat than Miley Cyrus or all those other PR spun and contrived tweensters.

I don't really care one way or the other about the movie - but let me tell you…living in Minneapolis Diablo Cody is alllllllllll over the freaking news. You're not getting the worst of it Cord.

Well, I won the haiku contest this week, so I should know what I'm talking about when I say Juno is good. You should see it. Forget about the hype, or whatever it is that's bugging you. It's a really funny, well-written, well-acted comedy. See it.

to Cord, that wittiest and most sagacious of Arbiters of Snarkiness:

"Logic and parsing sentences are obviously not for the adults!"

apparently, neither are pathetic attempts to distinguish one's self as eloquent by misusing words with which one clearly has no familiarity.

what the fuck, exactly, were you getting at calling her "capricious?" it sure doesn't fit with ANYTHING ELSE you or others have written about her in the ENTIRE ARTICLE. maybe you ought to have had a child vet your "logic and parsing."

fucking tool.

Cord, admit it. You're just pissed because the NyQuil wore off and you realized you spent your free time watching a Ben Stiller movie and now have no time to watch this quirky, and oh-so-timely tale that Jim Jarmusch and Wes Anderson were too cowardly to take on. ;)

If it's any consolation, people tried to tell me I HAD to see Titanic and to this day they can still suck my metaphorical balls. I will never see it.

Lily: you are freaking me out. I too have never, nor will I ever, see Titanic.

Me neither - even my husband has seen it. I will never, ever see it. Ever.

This movie is neither a chick flick nor a teen flick. It was excellent; everyone in it was excellent. However I have to say I got a little annoyed with Juno herself. The witty banter gets old when its constant. Well worth seeing, unless you're one of those 'cool' people who is willing to miss out just because you HAVE to go against the grain and not do what everyone else is doing. In other words, in case you ARE Juno.

I thought the 'cool' people were the ones seeing the movie. Or so the "kids" keep constantly reminding us. I thought the rest of "us" were just old, jaded, and "wised up" to Hollywood marketing tricks.
I'm cool… go figure.

thank you~

i have been waiting for someone to say so~

Yo, I'm not cool; I'm just contrary.

lisa who was at that time parenthetically #1, but may no longer be, yeah, it's getting a little weird in here… :)

Also, hey you detractors of us detractors, now that I think about it, bugger off. I don't not go to see movies because people think they're cool and I don't want to be perceived as "cool" in that way. I don't go to see movies because a) they look like crap, b) the hype has been shoved so far down my throat I couldn't enjoy the movie without an enema first, or c) it has that "I, the director, am a quirky and intelligent auteur. Behold my quirky, intelligent masterpiece which is quirky and intelligent because I say so, and I know because I made it" feel to it. If you want to blame someone for me not seeing what you consider to be a good movie, blame the marketing department.
