Hip and quirky does not a good film make

Rating: 1/10 (17 September 2010)

This was painful to watch. As soon as Juno started speaking, I was immediately turned off. The dialogue is unbearable - the writer tries soooooooo hard to create witty and hip dialogue - but misses by a long shot. The dialogue is easily the worst part of this film - it's just so annoying and unreal, it's a complete distraction. No person alive has ever spoken like this. It's even worse than the ridiculous dialogue in a Kevin Smith film. Luckily, the plot is so dull and plodding, you don't really miss much by being distracted.
Juno sets up living room furniture in her boyfriend's front yard, and sits on a chair, waiting for him to come out in the morning and see her. Wow, she's so hip and cool. Juno walks around with a pipe in her mouth. Wow, she is so hip and cool. Juno eats her lunch at school while sitting in the trophy case. Wow, Juno is so hip and cool.
After the unbearable dialogue, the horrible soundtrack is the second strike against this stinker. Just really, really bad songs continuously invading and refusing to leave.
In summary: Annoying and unbelievable dialogue, worst soundtrack ever, boring.
