I saw the film yesterday with my mom, and as we were walking to the car, she was talking about how Juno talks exactly like my sister. I couldn't agree more.

BTW, very good film.

Have I seen Juno? Nope.

I do not like Ellen Page or Jennifer Garner. Those two females are like biting on tinfoil for me. And the character of Juno, from what little I've seen in clips and trailers, is insufferably smarmy. :roll:

eeh...I'm not really into these kind of indie films but I admit this one was pretty okay. It was a rather unique story with very realistic themes (not to mention characters and dialogue and such)

I saw this movie on HBO a few months ago, and I ended up liking it. It's different from the other movies I'm used to watching, and I think this might have been the first indie movie I've seen (although some don't consider it an indie movie).

My friend saw it too, and said it was the biggest waste of his time. Mostly because he thinks that the movie gives the message that underage sex and teen pregnancy are just okay (he's a Christian btw). Of course I don't think underage sex is okay, but I personally thought the message was more about how s*** like teen pregnancy just happens, and how a pregnant girl deals with it.

Juno!! :D Awesome movie! I named a pregnant stray cat I adopted after the title character 'cuz she was basically a pregnant teen in cat years - and she had 4 adorable baby kitties :)

Back to the subject at hand though, Juno was a cool movie and she (the titular character) reminds me of this girl I had a crush on my first two years of college named Lexie. When I told her she reminded me of Juno, she initially freaked out, but then a friend of hers said I was referring to her personality, and she agreed. This is probably why I liked the movie as much as I did since Juno reminded me of Lexie.

...I can't stand the dialogue of that movie. I'm sorry. It just irritates me and I never believe in it. It's trying so hard to be creative that it's being unnecessarily overkill.

I saw it on video weeks ago. It was depressing and barely funny in my opinion.

I thought it was pretty good. Not all of the characters were really funny, but even those that weren't were quirky enough to be interesting. I didn't care for the music, it was just to hip for my taste. My favorite scene is where Juno and the prospective surrogate father are discussing Dario Argento movies.
