A good movie, but the dialogue may be a deal-breaker for some.

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2010)

Juno is just fun, and a pleasure to watch. It's not going to change anyone's life or make a big, important statement, but I haven't seen many movies that are more enjoyable. It's pure charm through and through.
Sure, the dialogue is a little over-the-top at times, but this isn't a documentary. Once you get used to it, it starts to feel right to hear these characters talking this way. Like it's a necessary part of this quirky world that Diablo Cody has created.
This has to be the most twee story about teen pregnancy ever written, and you won't enjoy the movie if you cannot accept that fundamental fact. Juno requires a healthy amount of off-beat sensibilities from its viewers, and in return, it will charm the pants right off of you. Seems like a fair bargain, to me.
