One of the best films of the year (2007)? Hardly.
Juno is written with quirky, snappy dialog that is a lot of fun to listen to, and Ellen Page has a great voice to deliver the lines with. The story is decent, but there is just no depth or texture here – it’s a little like the Glimore Girls (in the final seasons of that show, when the writers were phoning it in.)
Additionally, the score is not good. In fact, it’s quite bad, and this hurts the film.
Ignore the people who say the film is “pro-life.” They’re full of shit.
The film does not stand up to repeated viewing very well, but it is pleasant enough entertainment the first time around.
