Movies that Look Lame


I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for this ‘quirky’ looking film. I finally decided to watch the trailer to see if it was as hollow and gimmicky as the JUNO typeface.


Are they trying to confuse the viewers into thinking it’s a more serious Napoleon Dynamite? How was the Juno writer able to create a NappyDynamite type world that offers the potential for introspection on a level similar to Garden State.

I think the lead girl seems a little bit too GenXer. Sort of like Jeanenne Garrafalo in the body of a 16 year old. Does the tail end of Generation Y need a movie about teen pregnancy? I’d like to think most of us know that a kid would kill our opportunity to not take life seriously.

    juno was the largest tool of a character in recent memory. here is a sample quote…

    “Could you do me a solid?”

    After seeing the movie, I had wished she was pregnant with an alien.

    juno was AMAZING. not only did it have a sweeeet soundtrack (moldy peaches, mott the hoople, belle & sebastian) the storyline was really cute and i laughed the whole time (except when i cried…but i was supposed to at that time)

    the dialogue was sickeningly quirky and totally contrived.
