Pretentious Trash

Rating: 3/10 (2 April 2008)

You already heard it before. It's way too pretentious. Juno, "the know-it-all, too good for schoolm but dumb enough to get pregnant teenager", is highly annoying. Every comment made by another character is subjected to a sarcastic, witty remark by our friend Juno. Which leads to forced, unrealistic dialouge disguised as wittiness. On the surface, this movie is simple. It's never challenging, though it tries to be. It's never smart or clever, though it tries to be. I can't think of one thing that makes this movie special or Oscar-worthy. Maybe Hollywood just really likes Ellen Page's face? It should be also noted that although the movie is centered around teen pregnancy, it fails to leave a point. Speaking of pointless, the indie theme of this movie should've been abolished. Same as the indie pop-culture references that were made after every 2-3 lines. After watching this movie for 20 minutes, one might want to punch a wall.
