The whole Juno beginning and ending with a chair thing reeks of tenuous bookending. Not so much with the beginning, but definitely with the ending. It seemingly ends with a chair simply because the camera happened to be settling on one in the baby's bedroom.

Juno's an average comedy that cynically cribbed visual and audio clichés from its indie contemporaries to make it seem more meaningful than it actually is.

I still find it odd that the script makes it a necessary to point out how much Juno loves punk music (pretty much the glue to her scenes with Jason Bateman). Yet, there's nothing on the soundtrack or even worse, in the music she makes with her boyfriend in their band, to support this.

It's as if the entire soundtrack and in fact, the final few minutes of the film, are all an emotional lie.

There's an underlying current to everything being false in the film, from Juno's hipness, to her parent's reaction to the pregnacy, to the relationship with her boyfriend, it's all one big falsehood.

Juno is the most disingenuous "comedy with heart" I've seen in recent memory.

Dino, music is a key component to Juno. Juno is in a band, Juno bonds with Jason Bateman over music. :funny:

I've listened to The Moldly Peaches before Jason Reitman did.

And actually yes, I've volunteered with at risk youth, sometimes, pregnant teen girls. Some are from places not far removed from St. Cloud. So yeah, realism doesn't come to mind when I see their reaction. I prefer my fantasy films to be more upfront.

I get it Dino, you loved it and think its the best thing since Duran Duran. But you're going lose this argument homeskillet.

I love you.
