JunoAllow me to start off by saying Juno isn't that bad of a movie. I thought every actor in main roles did a great job especially Jennifer Garner, Allison Janney, Jason Bateman and the girl who plays Juno's best friend (Olivia Thirlby). That being said, I think Juno is probably the most overrated movie I've seen in the last 10 years. The only one I can think of that rivals it is *shudder* Crash... actually, ok it's not nearly as bad as Crash.
Juno is a poorly written, obvious, phony, annoying attempt at seeming "indie" at it's worst and a mediocre, decently funny, somewhat original ripoff of Little Miss Sunshine/Garden State/every Wes Anderson movie at it's best.
Also let me add that the fact this movie was nominated for best picture is a complete joke - I can name 20 movies made in the last year that are more worthy of being nominated for best picture, and about 15 of them are funny cat videos on youtube.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahah

Yeah, I loved Jason Bateman, JK Simmons, Michael Cera, Ellen Page, etc etc etc. They were all great individually. Alas, Diablo Cody's script suffered from what I like to call "Dawson's Creek Syndrome", whereby every five seconds I was forced to exclaim: "NOBODY FUCKING TALKS LIKE THAT!"
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad a movie like Juno did as well as it did with a broad audience, but I think all of the critical fawning was just a BIT much. It was good, not great.
Superbad is way better than Juno and far more reflective of being a teenager. I don't care what anyone says. Best picture of the year.
Also, best director for Reitman? What the hell was so special about Juno? There were like 3 locations in the whole movie. I could've shot that shit.
ya, i completely agree with this. i felt this movie also reeked of trying to be a Napoleon Dynamite-type film. I cringed once when I saw someone send another person a "hamburger phone" on facebook. Eastern Promises could have easily filled it's best picture and director nominations.
