Curator: "...Ok, questions from the audience?" Marty, you're right, but it still is a good movie to go to if you just want to laugh. But yes, completely over-hyped with the requisite pencil bubbly letters, the 70s throwback running apparel, hit or miss lines, (honest to blog being a killer), soft guitarman songs and the imitation of a "pathetic" life. holler.

I don't know if movies can be called "The next Napolean Dynamite" because Napolean Dynamite almost failed in the first month it was out in theaters. In fact, I remember seeing that movie with my friends the second week that it came out and it was just the two of us and three middle aged women who snorted obnoxiously, and they walked out half way through the movie. Pros for Juno: People didn't have overly dramatic Minnesota accents. Michael Cera's smooth legs. Cons: The first five minutes was a jumble of contrived slang that is completely make believe and no teenager would ever use, i.e. "Honest to blog." When Juno said "Honest to blog" I honest to barfed. Dwight Schrute (as I don't remember his real name). All of his lines were quirky attempts at trying to write hip. It was like listening to my grandma ask what a metrosexual is. Uncomfortable. After this brief foray into hell... it got better. Pros: Watching the film curator uncomfortabley laugh and fidget onstage while Diablo Cody cursed up a storm.
