Juno

[Schimid]

This movie was garbage.

In the first ten minutes, Dwight Shrute himself says something to the effect of "This ain't no Etch-o-Sketch, homeskillet. This is one doodle that can't be un-did. Your eggo is preggo."

I HATED the character Juno, too.

I read a review somewhere that says "For every moment in 'Knocked Up' that made you say 'That's exactly how people are!,' there's a moment in this movie that makes you think the opposite." It's just a movie of one-liners and oneupsmanship. There's little to no dialogue either, just vague pop culture references scattered throughout. There's a scene in the movie where Juno is going into labor and she belts out "THUNDERCATS ARE GOOOOO." The theatre erupted in thunderous laughter and applause. I wanted to vomit.

Maybe I was expecting too much, but if you're making a movie with a serious topic like teen pregnancy and make everything else entirely realistic then why do the characters have to talk like utter douchebags.

But everyone I talk to loves the movie, so go right the fuck ahead I guess.

I liked the movie, but I think Schmid's criticisms are valid. I thought the movie was funny and cute, but I don't know if it's really that deserving of all the acclaim it's gotten.

There was a time in Hollywood when execs aspired to make movies like Juno on a regular basis, not as bait for the Academy during Oscar Season.

oh man I'm right there with you on that one.

basically I hated the part with dwight schrute, the hamburger phone, and the end, but the middle kinda made up for it to me. I overall liked it and I don't think the dialog is unrealistic aside from those times that I hated.

no one caught the cut chemist logo on the white board in the science class.
