Yesterday I finally saw Juno. There already was much talk about the film, so I’ll keep it short.
I liked it. I liked the dialogues especially.
Bren: “She’s not the brightest light bulb in the tanning bed.”
or
Paulie: “I still have your underwear!”
Juno: “And I still have your virginity.”
I liked that there was no – hidden or otherwise – message of morale. Instead it was just what Juno decided, no behavioural compass for everybody else.
I liked it, but I didn’t love it. It’s worth a watch but if you wait til it’s out on DVD or on TV, you won’t die.
“You should’ve gone to China, you know, ’cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events. “
Yeah, I agree, it had its moments. And Ellen Page is brilliant. But like all geeks in th world, I secretly waited with bated breath to see Michael Cera on screen whenever he wasnt.
Their relationship was really cute. Good that there are happy ends.
