NotChetHanks Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/610100-juno-2007/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmoth Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) 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!

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.

Hurmoth Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I gave it a 9/10. Absolutely brilliant. And so is the soundtrack. I picked up off of iTunes and it such a fun soundtrack to listen to. Here's a great review of Juno that I completely agree with. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/610100-juno-2007/#findComment-589116431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/610100-juno-2007/#findComment-589126515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
