Juno

You say that like three friends isn't a large number.

I don't know what I can tell you without breaking your heart, kid.

I saw Juno a few hours ago. Some dialog raised a chuckle, but after it ended I still felt like I had wasted my time. I managed to avoid it this long because I never thought it looked very good, but so many people I look up to enjoyed the movie that I gave it a chance. My complaints are basically the same as Ampersandwitch's complaints.

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.

"that ain't an etchasketch kid" as juno shakes the pregnancy test. I actually thought that was one of the better one-liners of the movie.
I thought - morally/politically - a good point that the movie raised was that abortion is an option. It didn't just ignore it all together, and it also said that choosing not to get an abortion is also an option.
I would totally see a movie named 'The Wackness'.

I adored Juno. I thought it was quite well-written with an amazing female protagonist who at the same time snarky and vulnerable.
It was like watching a really well-written but sarcastic love letter in film form.
