Watched it: Juno


We saw Juno with Scott and Salley Friday night. We were all super excited to see it and super let down. A lot of hype with this movie.

What we did not like:
*the funny stuff is pretty much what you see in the trailers
*the competitive "I am cooler than you" band name dropping (Jerry insists it is "the Stooges", not "Iggy and the Stooges", I concur)
*one of the names she dropped that she thought made her cool was Patti Smith...this could never make someone cool, it could only make them a total loser
*the guy behind us who thought even the most mildly amusing thing to be absolutely hilarious as he howled with laughter

What we did like:
*supporting characters were spot on, clever, but not overly so and very likable
*hamburger phone
*dissed Sonic Youth
*Michael Cera;he can only play one character, we like it, so that is ok
*wears the dorkiest track clothes for most the movie
*there is a plot that is never allude to in the movie that was really interesting and well resolved

Should you see it? Rent it, but save your moolah for another flick currently in theaters.
