Life lesson

This is something guys should take there girlfriends to see. A chick flick I would say. Although there isn’t much to the whole thing and it didn’t make me laugh out, it still kept me watching without allowing me to dose of like most do. The only downside to me is that although it’s dealt with in calm, civilised manner the message sent out is that it’s ok to do this type of thing as if it’s the norm and someone will take care of it. The real world is totally opposite.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you agree, show your friend

Errm, Wow, boring, really, really boring, that’s all I can say about this film.

1st, the clichés are so over used, the rap lyrics (fo-shizle) zzzzz. The plot is OK, but again distinctly average and never gets to warm. The only funny bit I laughed at, (hang on, this is a comedy? Isn't it?) is when Juno tells Michael Cera her strung along friend, and dad of the baby, that she's Keith Cheggers. He then just stares blankly like a lost puppy for about a minute..

That’s it.

This film is boring.

I don't want to point out all the plot holes and missing sections of the film, like why she appears at his front door, with a full living room set and pipe all laid out????

Huh?

Just sooo boring..

PS: It wont win a single award cos it's dull..

A fine delivery

Many similarities in tone and pace of films such as Garden State, Juno offers a wry look at a short period in time during the life of a few characters. The focus of our attentions this time is the 9 months of Juno's pregnancy, and how it affects the lives of family, friends, and potential adoptive parents. In the hands of Reitman (the director), who brought us the satire Thank You For Smoking, the film paces well, and plays subtle with the laughs and deftly with the emotions. A really likeable cast help carry the simple tale along, especially the talented Ellen Page (who has already shown her amazing acting talent in Hard Candy) who is the focus of the majority of screen time as young Juno. She really conveys all the emotions and turmoil, and some insecurities, that you would expect a 'wild and free spirit' to have when put into such a situation. It is easy to like and care for her throughout, despite her characters obvious flaws, thanks to the effortless manner in which Page plays the role. Support from names such as Jennifer Garner and JK Simmons is also strong, all adding to the mix of charm that the film offers. All in all, a charming and sweet comedy which will definitely touch your hearts whilst making you smile.

Great..expectations..

Tomboy Juno has little in her 16 year old life that she can't handle with a mix of intelligence and humour. Though falling pregnant after her 1st and only sexual encounter is one challenge she wasn't looking to face. The decisions to be made, facing parents and fellow pupils, let alone the father to be 'Bleaker' all make for a funny and heartwarmingly brilliant film. Definately worth a watch.

made me want to swallow my fist. whole.

the fact that everyone i know loves juno irrtates me beyond belief. this film is the worst film i have seen in years, the protagonist is the most annoying i have experienced and the whole storyline is pretty unbelievable, the fact she has no connection with her baby at all? probably because of the fact ellen page IS juno and so just feels she has a pillow shoved up her jumper. the dialogue of the whole film is ridiculous, along with so many other 'quirky' parts which make you sick i.e. peeing on a stick in a pharmacy, a mailbox of tic tacs. plllleeeasse. the only good thing about this film is michael cera who is his usual brilliant self, it's the only reason i'm giving it one star, him and the nice soundtrack. i wanted to leave halfway through this film, mainly because of the rest of the audience who laughed at lines such as 'i look like a beached whale' or something else so predictably similar it made me want to gag. absolutely terrible film, please don't succumb to the hype.

Girls Only

Hated it. Friend & her 20-something daughter loved it.

High-school girl gets pregnant & has to choose between keeping her baby or giving it up for adoption to flakey-wife Jennifer Garner [13 Going On 30]. Hillbilly-busking music has to be the final nail in the coffin.

Reserved to keep 'girls' happy; blokes will mostly watch cos its what we do.

Juno = Absolutly Naff

There was alot of hype around this film, alot. It was supposed to be rated 5 stars, dragged my boyfriend and some friends to watch it in the cinema.. it was unbelievably rubbish. The boyfriend will never let me live it down and uses it as a weapon.

It isn't even a chickflick, people walked out of the cinema..

Fo shizzzzzz *gags*

Runno

I know what I'd do if I got a chick preggers. Clue: it's not this. Go and watch something good like Peril Harber instead. At least with Micheal Bay you KNOW the dialouges gunna bee the way it is. I hate juno. She's too smarmy and hot for her own good.
