Juno (2007)

[NotChetHanks]

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

I'm looking forward to seeing this with the girlfriend.

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!

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.

I was gonna go see this. Should I take a female with me so I'm not a "lone man taking in a roman-edy"?

Of course, this would be a great film to take a date to though:yes::

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.

[Rappy Veteran]

Ellen is up for a top UK award for Rising Star and well you can vote so she gets it...now I know someone in Germany voted so lets hope US is allowed.

Reitman have always been a good director. I just hope this comes to Mexico.

I saw this with my girl, GREAT movie.

[popsmear]

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.

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:
