My friends and I took a birthday road trip to see this film at a promotional screening in Dallas, TX. I'd missed seeing it at the Austin Film Festival by 20 minutes (again, another road trip) and was crushed. This time we were three hours early and it was totally worth it. I'd never been to a promotional screening before, but I can't wait to do it again. My friends and I took up an entire row in the theater. Awesome, right? God, I'm rambling...on to the actual review.
Without giving anything away, the first 15 minutes were killer - the music, the animation, the opening line. People were laughing so loudly, I missed most of the dialogue. In fact, this is true for about 30% of the movie. If you see this movie once, you'll have to see it again to really appreciate Diablo's writing. However, it doesn't take a second look to realize how incredible Ellen Page is as Juno. Having seen some of her other work, it's as if she takes every character she plays and gives them a piece of herself. Therefore, making everyone who sees Juno fall in love with her.
This film is a must see to anyone who...well, anyone. The script, the director, the cast. It all works.
