This is a very good movie and I recommend EVERYONE go see it. It's a "chick flick" so to speak and my girlfriend forced me to go see it and I am happy she did. It was a very funny movie and it was a great experience. It kinda puts the whole teen pregnancy thing in perspective.

4/5

Plot summary: "Juno" stars Ellen Page as the title character, a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker. With the help of her hot best friend Leah, Juno finds her unborn child a "perfect" set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa, longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.

Every so often there's a film that comes out that touches us in a certain way and stays with us forever. In 2004 there was Napoleon Dynamite, in 2005 Hard Candy, in 2006 there was Little Miss Sunshine, in 2007 there's Juno.

Juno is one of the funniest films in 2007. In fact, I'll even go as far as to say it is the best film of 2007. I loved every second of this film, from the cartoonish opening credits to, where “it started with a chair,” and “it ended with a chair.”

The film stars the highly underrated Ellen Page as Juno, a teenage girl trying to find herself in the world and after an intimate night with best friend Paulie Bleeker, Juno becomes pregnant. The story then follows her over the next four seasons as she finds who she really is.

It is a beautiful romantic comedy, drama that I highly recommend to every single person who's trying to find themselves.

As Rotten Tomatoes puts it, Juno is "one of the brightest, funniest comedies of the year, whose smart script and direction are matched by assured performances."

Congratulations to Ellen Page for her Golden Globe nomination. Good luck to her, she certainly deserves it!

If you haven't seen the trailer, check it out here.

I give this film a perfect score... 5/5!

Very well acted indeed... I absolutely love Ellen Page. She did such a great job in Hard Candy and now this.

I haven't seen this yet but really want to when it shows in UK but I know its gonna be good because Ellen is a stand out star for the future and she seems so down to earth in interviews.

Took my wife to see it and we both loved it. Great movie.

I always have to pee half way through a movie theater movie. Usually there is a time when I can go, OK, nothing is happening, BRB.

Could not find that time for this movie.

Sure is: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?...1-07&p=.htm

That's awesome. I was expecting this to be more of a cult classic (like Garden State or The Lost Boys), never for it to become #1.

#1 at the box office on Tuesday as well.

I think I might go see this film again this weekend.

There was an awesome piece about Ellen Page in Empire Film Magazine over here in UK and about Juno as well, is a great read.

Damn you UK'rs :p Most of the mags over here have a very tiny blurb about her, but it really is barely anything. Doesn't even count as a blurb IMO.

Daily charts DO NOT count. To be considered a "#1" movie, it has to win a weekend.

You don't say? I knew that, thanks. Daily charts count for daily charts. What the hell does it matter? Monday and Tuesday it beat every other film in theaters, which makes it #1 for those days. :rolleyes:

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
