Juno looks really good, like Napoleon Dynomite for preggers girls. Ellen Page is going to be the It Girl. So smart and funny. Perfect. http://www.foxsearchlight.com/juno/

I want to see this, too. Ebert and Roper loved it.

Saw this last night and it was the funniest movie I've seen in years. I loved it! Go see it multiple times.

I enjoyed this, I like that it is not predictable. Definitely will make you laugh, though I saw Charlie Wilson's War yesterday and laughed at that more. The one thing that annoyed me is that though I thought Ellen (Juno) did an amazing acting job, I never really bought that she was really this sarcastic dry sense of humor girl. Too many years teaching high school, something just didn't fit or click for me in that area. Jason Bateman did a really stand out job.

I liked this movie, but the "high school" vernacular was a tad over the top. Loved that it wasn't predictable. Sort of dark, but we laughed a lot too.

Loved it, and for a comedy, that is very usual for me... Though the storyline hit awfully close to home so I may be a bit biased...

I loved this movie too. Jason Bateman was fantastic in his small role. I thought there wasn't a single false note in the whole film. What a pleasant little surprise this movie is!

Loved this movie. Sweet, funny and poignant! Being an adoptive mom (several times over) it also hit a few special emotions for me. I want my 15 year old daughter to see it. I particularly loved the father of Juno in this film. I would recommend it. Good movie!

I saw this movie yesterday, and LOVED it. It's funny in a Napoleon Dynamite kind of way. Hilarious!

Jbean, my husband also made a Napolean Dynomite reference. I thought it was a cute film but fairly predictable.

After hearing so much praise about this movie earlier this year I was wondering if I'd like it or not. Well, I finally got a chance to see it and I did really enjoy it. Great casting of the actors. The cast seemed spot on. I did like Jason Bateman in his role. He really seems to do a good job in the things I've seen him in in recent years. I also liked that I couldn't exactly figure out how the movie would really end. A majority of the time plots are so much more predictable. I really liked the soundtrack throughout the movie too. On a side note, the cast and crew "jam" on the DVD extras was great!

LOVE IT. Could someone explain the living room in the front yard and the reason the chair was important?

So someone threw the whole living room set out, then she moved the whole thing to his front yard?

I had just caught up on this thread then read this weeks answer man column by Roger Ebert. I thought the following question/answer would be of interest to Escapee: Q. Watching "Juno" again, I think I've figured out why the story is bookended with a motif of chairs. Juno narrates her story beginning with "It started with a chair," and we gaze upon a big, worn-out, comfortable-looking chair. Near the end, she tells us "It ended with a chair," and we see a different chair, this time, a lovely slimmer, not-so-comfortable rocking chair. These two things illustrate the journey our hero has taken, that our security blanket in childhood becomes not so comfortable when our eyes are open to the realities of the world. Jerry Roberts, Birmingham, Ala. A. I think the chairs invite us to attach our own associations, without insisting on anything in particular. You can bring a symbol to a movie for your own pleasure as long as you don't insist it's what the director intended.

There were so many good lines from that movie. DH and I LOL'd when the dad said "Liberty Bell, if you put one more baco in that potato I am gonna kick your little monkey butt!" and: "Like I'd marry you, you'd be the meanest wife ever ok? And I know that you weren't bored that day. Because there was a lot of stuff on tv and The Blair Witch Project was coming on Stars and you were like, "I haven't seen this since it came out and so we should watch it," but oh no we should just make out instead la la la... "
