One of the most overrated films of our time

Rating: 1/10 (12 July 2008)

Like a reviewer said earlier I am one of those people who "did not crack a smile once" during the whole movie. Not to say that I disliked the actors in the film, I think they did pretty well with what they had to work with. I understand this is kind of a quirky movie, but being quirky is not an allowance to be unrealistic. I think the script was awful. Character reaction to a relatively serious situation was completely off the wall and unbelievable. I got the impression that if Juno had forgotten to do a homework assignment for school she would have been in more trouble than getting herself pregnant. Technically the editing was beyond atrocious, some of the cuts from scene to scene looked like they were scotch taped together randomly, with numerous shots serving zero purpose whatsoever. To think this was nominated for an academy award is laughable. If you want to see what a quirky independent film should really look like check out Rushmore or Little Miss Sunshine, those films are far superior to this farce.
