Seconded. Although that part where Bleeker says "You'd make the meanest wife ever!" was pretty good too, what with it being a reference to the origin of Juno's name earlier in the movie. :-D

i liked this film, but not as much as i expected.
i was expecting to see a lot more wit on juno's part but it didnt shine through as much as i got in the trailer. at times i found her 'catchphrases' and colloquialisms a tad annoying and too teenager-ish, which i'm sure was intended, but i was hoping she'd be sort of a head above that.
there were several bits i loved, and i think her parents were great, and absolutely loved how paulie's awkwardness made it hard to see what juno found so amazing about him, which highlighted the old 'eyes of the beholder' feel to it all.
dont know if i'd watch it again, but it was fun!

Just saw this one tonight, so don't mind me all posting in a hibernating thread.
Didn't like all of the hipsteresque name droppin' and shootin the shit for no reason really pertinent to the film, and the part where the stepmom tells that one ultrasound specialist or whatever to get a "real job" was just painful, as was whatever that ridiculous line about an etchasketch. I cannot remember exactly how it goes (doodles being undid, or something), but I do not want to.
I can't have been the only person who hated Juno's character. She was too perfect, too capricious, too much of a jerk sometimes, and never really got told off for it. Everyone else seems to love her or have a friend "just like her," but oh man, if she existed in real life (which is impossible - a weird girl who chooses to be weird but is not weird at all simultaneously, sporting none of the weird girl stigma? blasphemy) people would hate her for all of her needless, irritating sass (Gerta Rrrraus). It's like Ghost World all over again, and I loved Ellen Page in Hard Candy, so I know it's not her.
Additionally, they all speak like Diablo Cody.
Movies by bloggers for bloggers about bloggers. What a concept.
This post is not to say that I actively hated the movie, sitting there like Waldorf from the Muppets. Several parts were endearing - the father was too reminiscent of my own to not make me miss him.
Any feelings I have toward the movie in either direction, though, does not change the fact that Juno was Jove's wife, not Zeus's.

She doesn't have the "weird girl" stigma? She has, what, three friends?
