Juno
SevenPinkerton:
I love movies that show realistic people. Juno MacGuff is not one of these people. (If she is, where have all these superhumanly laid back, cool, witty, well-dressed girls been hiding?) I can see the other characters almost existing, but most are nearly all humor and wittiness and no real feelings or seriousness. Everyone has to be serious at some point, especially in situations that take place in Juno. Aside from the relationships, it was very unrealistic and idealistic to me, but very VERY entertaining.
The most realistic character to me was Bleeker and he barely had a role in the movie.
And who on earth would give a baby to a mother in a neighborhood like that in a house that doesn't look like anyone lives in it? Creeeeepy. And weirdly enough, it looks almost identical to my fiance's mother's house.

I know at least three who go to my old high school. Never mind the number of them I know in university.
SevenPinkerton:
how do they live? Juno lacks any real-life emotion or depth. She's a walking cynical comedy show. If there are girls out there like this, I'm not sure whether to feel sorry or them or just hang around them for nonstop laughs.
Johnny C:
I'm sad to hear that you think the movie lacks any real emotion - if anything, when Juno's jarred out of her distanced, aloof shell the film's emotion is made tangible. There are scenes of despair, ache, joy and passion to rival any other film I've seen this year, they're just included as part of a surprisingly funny film.
SevenPinkerton:
I just found them very lacking and almost forced at the end of the movie. Also, it seemed very out of character for what they presented Juno to be for the first 3/4 of the movie. I guess it was supposed to show her growing up, or something, but I felt they did this very badly and it just seemed to lack any real emotion. It was very sweet at times, though.
