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:

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
