I loved this charming movie.
I bought it and I watched it a few times now. It is a feel good movie.

Yeah, the writing is certainly at the borderline. I love the dialog but at the same time you KNOW that people don’t talk like that, especially coming from a teenager in this particular situation. Yet the characters and the cast are so charming that I have to forgive some of the unrealistic aspects of the film.

If you want to see hear some pretentious teenage dialog, watch or re-watch Heathers. I used to love that movie but now I just noticed that the dialog has absolutely no basis in reality. That movie has not aged well.

I believe that good writing has longevity but great writing never dies. I think Diablo Cody’s screenplay is good, but only time will tell if its great.

It took me longer than usual to actually get enough courage to go and see the new Ellen Page movie, which by and large, was due to the incredible buzz and hype behind the film. I generally don’t mind a lot of fan buzz on a film but the advertising nearly destroyed any possibility of me seeing the movie as it appeared to be another in a long line of precocious teen melodrama films that plagued the latter half of the 90′s and the early years of the new millenium. Nevertheless, I did go out and rent it and despite my intuition was pleasantly surprised althought the writing was borderline pretentious i.e. Dawson Creek-like. It did maintain it self though with the help of a good and somewhat overlooked cast, especially the actors that portrayed Juno’s parents. I think their dialog was by far the funniest. In the end, for a post-Degrassi Canadian melodrama it accomplished its duty of being entertaining.

This is one of those films that I know I can go back to over and over again. I bought the Blue Ray version and they gave me some software so I can put the movie in my Ipod. Now, I find myself watching a few minutes of it throughout the day.

Thanks for mentioning the Sturgess film. I’ll check it out.

I agree whole heartedly. This movie oozes with charm and snappily delivered smarty pants banter. Reitman is clearly paying hommage to Preston Sturgess’ 1944 classic film, The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek. It’s subversive and fun while both attacking “moral values” and reaffirming them; in a contemporary setting. This one was my favorite from 2007.
