We've been fooled!

Rating: 4/10 (30 January 2009)

I watched this film about a year ago, as that is when it came out here in England. I shan't lie, I thought it was delightful. It made me laugh and I concluded that Ellen Page was refreshing, as was the dialogue.
I watched it again about 2 months after, and once more a time after that. Both these times I was dumbstruck, to a point of speechlessness and my entire being, physically and mentally, had been lulled into an absolute state of rigid boredom.
Page and Cera act exactly the same character in every film they are in. And the 'refreshing' dialogue aforementioned, serves to do nothing but detract absolutely from a, frankly, wafer thin storyline. It's actually upsetting to identify what Juno fundamentally is. A marketing ploy. It was advertised as 'cool' and 'quirky' and 'indie', the movie's gone on to make close on 230 million US Dollars. I, like so many, was suckered in by this ploy. We've all been hoodwinked by Capitalism, Diablo Cody probably laughs herself to sleep, under her velvet sheets, on her gold plated bed frame.
