Great little movie. I wouldn't call it the best movie of the year, like many are hyping it as. But it is amazingly warm, genuine and the characters feel real, as does the story. I do think it is a little ridiculous how everyone in Juno's family and a few random people on the streets talk with that sardonic sassy pluckiness, exactly like Juno...I think the writer overused it, but hey no one complains that everyone in Woody Allen and Kevin Smith movies talk exactly like their writer(s). So, I look past that and it really just had a lot of spunk and I think ellen Page was REALLY good. Allison Janney stole the show, JK Simmons was as good as usual and Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman really brought it home, with two potential cliches and made them feel real and empathetic (and creepy in Bateman's case). A strong second picture for Reitman.
Saw it tonight with my peeps. And, yea, I agree 100% with you, man.
but this is probably the best comedy I've seen this year
Knocked Up and Superbad were better.
