Overrated Annoying Coming of Age Flick

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2009)

"Juno" has got to be one of the most overrated movies in recent memory. The annoying hipster dialog by a knocked up teenage girl along with the annoying "indie" music is tiresome. The more you watch "Juno" the more you think to yourself "this won an Oscar for best original screenplay?" I think the voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences along with critics were enthralled by the writer Diablo Cody (not her real name and Diablo is the Spanish masculine version of the word devil, it should actually be Diabla), ex-stripper turned writer more than the actual film and then they projected that admiration towards it.
The best quote about this movie comes from "Variety's Peter Bart: "I like the movie, but it seemed to me Juno talked more like a 30-year-old ex-stripper trying to make a name for herself as a screenwriter." And that's the way that Ellen Page played the part, not as a teen but as an annoying 30 something trying to still be cool and hip.
You have to see this movie more than once in order to grasp how truly OVERRATED it is. "Knocked Up" is more realistic than this trite. I actually lowered my rating for the film.
