Juno

I was actually skeptical about this movie, but I bought when it came out cause hey, it had Jennifer Garner and I usually buy her movies. It's something I do. Yeah. Anyways. It's no wonder it became popular in a short amount of time. Granted, 2007 was highlighed by epic comedies in Knocked Up and Superbad. Juno doesn't really go for that realm, first off it's only PG-13, and secondly, it strives for some realistic adventure in pregnancy. I realize Knocked Up was pretty much that, but the focus was on the humor of Seth Rogan and Kathrine Heigl's characters, as well as their friends and family. Juno is driven by... Ellen Page. Yeah, the adults and friends chipped in a few hilarious bits, but it was pretty much Page's character starting the dialogue and ending the dialogue. She had memorable rants in almost every scene, which is easily on par with Seth Rogan, minus the weed and F-bombs.

It's not flashy, there's no blood, there's no nudity, nothing screaming BLOCKBUSTER. But it's a good story, good comedy, great acting on Page's part, and intoxicating music. And I don't even really go for the indie music scene.

But didn't you think Ellen Page was wonderful in her role?

She did a good job. Acting was great, script ran out of luster.

Good movie. Anytime it has the word "shenanigans", it has my vote. Plus it was based in MN, so it can't get any better than that.

Funny, because I'm pretty sure Diablo Cody (the scriptwriter) won an Oscar for best original original screenplay...

It's a great movie. No one should feel ashamed owning such a defining movie as that.

That's fine and dandy, doesn;t mean I have to like it. The first half was great and then it just kept going nowhere. She's having a baby, we get it!
