imoldfashioned said:I saw Juno tonight and it lived up to all the hype--smart, funny, touching and not cliched at all. I loved it that you thought you knew what was going to happen with several characters and then the writer went a different way. Another theme I adored but it's a big 'ol spoiler so I'll wait to discuss it for awhile. Great cast. Go see it!
We just started a three-week run of this, and it's drawing *huge* crowds -- opening night we had almost three hundred people, and for a picture to pull that in the middle of January, it's pretty amazing.
I thought the dialogue was highly stylized, to the point where I couldn't catch it all -- but I'll have plenty of chances to see it again! The performances were uniformly good -- especially Juno's dad, a true salt of the earth, and her boyfriend, all sweet and cute and gommy. A very pleasant little film all around.
