<p>I’ve seen it twice. DD has seen it four times! I am taking a dear friend just recovering from her last round of chemo because I think it will lift her spirits. Astrophysicsmom, you are in for treat.</p>
<p>I wanted to go see Juno, but DS really wanted to see There Will Be Blood. Since he’s going back to school in a couple of days, I let him pick. I WISH he’d chosen Juno…but will see it with DH soon I hope.</p>
<p>IMO, There Will Be Blood was violent, pointless and interminable. Blech.</p>
<p>Daniel Day Lewis * pointless?*
Not in my world</p>
<p>OK, I’m baaaack. We all went to see this a couple of nights ago (second time for both daughters). I didn’t notice the lack of cell phones, and didn’t spend too much time analyzing how “realistic” it was…and loved it. Any movie that can both make me laugh out loud AND cry gets two thumbs up from me. I’m not sure it’s Academy Award material, but it was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while. The show was in a small theater and was sold out…D2 said that a lot more people laughed (guess we “got” it) than when she saw it at home the first time. D1 downloaded part of the last song they sing with their guitars and sent it to me—it’s now my ringtone for her!</p>
<p>Oh, to live in a world without cell phones</p>
<p>Loved the movie. My sons, 19 and 17, did too. It’s not just a chick flick.</p>
<p>its def not a chick flick. it was a good movie</p>
<p>I didn’t get the chance to see it YET. Everywhere it was playing was…too far from me. When it comes out on dvd…</p>
<p>Michael Cera is fabulous in the movie; a seamless sidle over from Superbad. My S loved it too.</p>
<p>I like when Bleek stands there and says, “Then whose idea was it?” Stuff for guys too.</p>
<p>My 16 y/o saw it with his GF - and a little trepidation from Mom - he said, somewhat sheepishly because he hates to admit he likes anything that i like, was a good movie.</p>
<p>Eh, the dialogue sounded too contrived and I hated the music.</p>
<p>And I loved the dialogue AND the music. :)</p>
<p>Much happiness in our house today with the Oscar nominations for Juno for Best Picture, Jason Reitman for Director, Diablo Cody for Original Screenplay, and, especially, Ellen Page for Best Actress!</p>
<p>out of all the movies i saw in 2007, Juno was by far the best.
i had been waiting to see Juno since september, and it lived up to every one of my expectations… and i LOVED the music. i’ve been listening to it while i study for midterms :)</p>
<p>Would you recommend this movie to teens that are adopted? (I don’t know how it ends or what is said about adoption.)</p>
<p>toledo, I sent a PM to you so I would ruin it for anyone who has not seen it yet.</p>
<p>I have absolutely no desire to see, can’t explain why, but it just somehow has the ick factor for me</p>
<p>my Ds liked it, but for me, it just seems eh as well</p>
<p>As this thread kept reappearing, I kept rethinking my response and I wanted to make a correction. It wasn’t just the dialogue that sounded contrived. The entire movie seemed so contrived it was like watching a Disney cartoon.</p>
<p>Your opinion is incorrect.</p>
<p>“your opinion is incorrect”</p>
<p>I have read several reviews that say the dialogue is forced and contrived, so acinva, you aint alone</p>
<p>“I am a sacred vessel; all you got in your stomach is Taco Bell.”</p>
<p>was thinking I could, like, have the baby and give it to somebody who totally needs it…Maybe they’ll, like, canonize me for being totally selfless,” or when she says, “I don’t want to give my baby to a couple who describes themselves as ‘wholesome.’”</p>
<p>I don’t know- i just find that stupid</p>
