- the hype
- the preview I saw
- the cast
And then, Juno speaks. Help! All that overboard teen slang, the half-words, the I'm diff, I'm clev, the awkward way she said dude and silencio. It drove me bananas. It felt like I was listening to someone read Perez Hilton out loud. The story itself was decent but I wish Michael Cera was the one who got pregnant and that Ellen Page (damn you!) was the back story.
- don't believe the hype
- slick previews are usually better than movies
- Allison Janney is still the greatest

i feel you. it was a little too "hip." however, i got over it really fast when she said "pork swords" and now i, too, am in the "lover" category. rowr.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU.
Now, see, for me, the slang was terrible, terrible, and then "pork swords" pretty much buried it, and the rest of the movie had to work really hard to win me over to the "I don't hate it poisonously" side, which is where I am now.
I haven't seen it yet. Weird thing. This is the second time today I have heard a bad review. The only ones. Everybody else is in love with it.
Gia watched it without me and she can't stop quoting it, which I actually find a little annoying.
I'll get to it one of these days.
I hate that the previews give away the ending. Even if it is obvious and not exactly a twist, why spoil it?
