This movie is like the twilight zone without the funny special effects

Rating: 3/10 (14 April 2009)

Who on earth would actually want to know someone like Juno? Her indier than thou monologues are just lame. I've seen episodes of Gilmore Girls and Dawson's Creek with better precocious run on rants (I think we all know what I mean). Most of the time she's offensive. The scenes with Jennifer Garner are hard to watch because the silly lead character tries to belittle her.
The two weak subplots are sub par. I found the whole "husband wanting to get with Juno" ridiculous and creepy. I love the way she blows him off after wanting him the whole movie through. I felt no sympathy for Juno at any point. I agreed with the ultrasound technician. As for the boyfriend thing, I can't believe he got back with her. She's unbelievably obnoxious.
This movie is so far removed from reality it should be classified as science fiction. Everything from the parent reaction to the constant pithy dialogue - it seems like an imitation of twee teen shows imitating life. Nevertheless, a lack of reality is acceptable if it's what you're going for. I'm not sure what Juno was trying to achieve. It's not funny, insightful or interesting.
Kudos to Garner. She pulled the odd rabbit out of the hat. I've now finished watching the trio of baby movies - Waitress, Knocked Up and Juno. Trust me, this is by far the weakest.
