went to see it with the general populace, i really enjoyed it love JK Simmons as the father and brings a great presence to the film, Ellen Page seemed really genuine in her delivery, I got really drawn into Jason Bateman's relationship with Jennifer Garner and how deep it was from the moment they got on screen
the one-liners were great, just love that kind of natural humor "he's good in chair" was one that I unexpectedly burst outloud for the Superstar thing reminded me of the Shins thing in Garden State, but done much better, cute touches with the Mudhoney shirt even though you couldn't see the name or the Shonen Knife poster that is very familiar or another two in the background ![]() among them, and the "noise" joke really worked as diffusive element to lighten the tone of the scene they were in and how heavy it was the soundtrack was really great, loved the use of Cat Power's rendition of "Sea of Love" especially overall i liked it more then Little Miss Sunshine (the prerequisite comparison), maybe cause of I liked the ensemble of actors a bit better and seemed less overbearingly quirky and grounded (family trekking in van to beauty show vs teen pregnancy and adoption), overall a great viewing and worth the 6 dollar ticket |

it is now for a Matinée showing, i don't go to the theatre much and the last time i went it was $5, there was a 20% hike in the last year, but it's a small town theatre that doesn't get much of any real interest most of the time

Coming back to Juno (I know I talked about it earlier), I really was let down by this movie. I was hoping for a lot more, and all it delivered was a baby (ha!). The whole quirkiness thing: I didn't like that the things they said were really the only quirky things about it. When it is that, and not much else, it was just stupid to me. Whereas Little Miss Sunshine, they acted pretty normally, but with a quirky environment. Perhaps that is just my personal preference. If they had made the environment, and her room, and her town, etc, more of an oddity, I would have bought into the words a bit more. Also, anyone feel it was a little rushed. It hardly covered the scope of what a pregnancy is really like, let alone a teenage pregnancy.

I'm not that old, I'm 22. :P
Also, you live in Socal. The movie takes place in the midwest. A high school in southern california is VERY different from a midwestern high school. Two completely different cultures. The west coast is basically a totally different country from the rest of the US. If you saw a movie about my high school experience you'd probably say "I don't know anybody who talks like the teenagers do in that movie." Also, the scope of the pregnancy isn't important. The pregnancy was more of a plot device than anything else. The whole quirky vs normal people and quirky vs normal enviroment thing boggles me. People are quirky and environments are quirky. A quirky environment is one that contains quirky people. A small midwestern town is a perfect environment for that. Appearances aren't everything. "The weirder you are going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works in reverse, too. When I see a kid with three of four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person." -P.J. O'Rourke |

I saw this movie last night and really enjoyed it.Wasn't expecting all the music, that was a pleasant surprise. I never really checked out the moldy peaches before but now im extremly interested. The whole sdtrk to the movie was awesome.
I think everyone in the movie did a great job acting. I liked how the movie wasn't predictable and had this off beat charm to it. I'd reccomend it to everyone to see.

You know, I had passes to the premier. I get them all the time from work. I couldn't go though... I think I'll see it tonight.

Bill's a stalwart. I was watching Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties with my nephew and was actually sort of getting into it a few months ago, but
my sister made me turn it off. |
