This played at the Telluride Film Festival two weeks ago and we, no lie, had to turn away two hundred people every time it screened. Surprise hit of the festival.
TYFS was fantastic. by HamiltonGeyser	Sep 12th, 2007 11:09:27 PM
Funniest comedy in forever
"...every bit as gifted as his father, Ivan..."!!??? by Will Not Reply To Your Post	Sep 12th, 2007 11:36:53 PM
Say what? Ivan Reitman is definitely NOT known as a gifted director despite the hit films he HAS directed. He is known for surrounding himself with very clever writers and, most importantly, ACTORS. In fact, I seem to remember Ebert exclaiming in a review that Reitnman has absolutely no style to his direction. That said, the guy is mainly a great producer because he knows who to hire.
Love the legacy by MrD	Sep 12th, 2007 11:53:35 PM
The director of TYFS, actors from Arrested Development, West Wing and Oz? I'm so there.
A naked Margaret Mead... by TheRealSeveren	Sep 13th, 2007 12:02:35 AM
what a frightening image. Funny though... Im going to create a hip pen name too. Good review. Looking forward to this one now that I know of its existence. Still, I hope it doesnt work out for Diablo so she will in fact go right back to the pole. By the way, I respect all of you.
You got this one right, Copernicus by Garbageman33	Sep 13th, 2007 12:21:50 AM
Couldn't agree with you more on Juno. Or less on Lust, Caution. But thanks for being more ambitious than I've been about sending in reviews. Not sure when you find the time. I haven't gotten to bed before 2 a.m. all week.
Diablo Cody by Vic Twenty	Sep 13th, 2007 12:48:09 AM
I had a dog named Diablo and a cat named Cody. If her middle name is "Nipper" I win $100.
MEH by johnyaztec	Sep 13th, 2007 02:16:29 AM

Witty repartee by ye olde shiza	Sep 13th, 2007 02:56:03 AM
Who else gets frustrated by the "witty" dialogue writers, these days? The problem comes when witty dialogue becomes the only point of a conversation. You have to have "real-world" dialogue in order to make a "zinger" work in the first place ... Hopefully, this film doesn't take it to an extreme. I like the talent involved, and I was a fan of Thank You For Smoking.
Juno, your case worker! by henrydalton	Sep 13th, 2007 03:21:25 AM
I don't think she'd thank herself for smoking...
More Ellen Page please by montessaurus	Sep 13th, 2007 08:15:34 AM
Yummy.
I'd like to knock up Ellen Page. by Mosquito March	Sep 13th, 2007 08:35:26 AM
And then make her get an abortion, and then knock her up again, and then make her get another abortion, and so on and so forth.
"instant classic" by Midol Boy	Sep 13th, 2007 08:52:32 AM
Uh.... you might want to look up the word classic. You know. Something that has endured over the time. Idiot.
Thank You For Smoking was a hoot! by Rakafraker	Sep 13th, 2007 11:36:40 AM
I laughed so hard at that kid. Good stuff. If Juno is as fun as FB'sDO, I'm in. FYI - A Juno is also the name of the Canadian music award. Like a Grammy. Coincidence? Yes.
I've seen it too by longshot7	Sep 13th, 2007 11:52:17 AM
at a preview screening a few months back - it is a superb film. If Little Miss Sunshine can get people talking & get nominated for an Oscar, then Juno (which I feel is a better film) can do just as well. Ellen Page is smart and sassy, and man, can she deliver a one-liner. Props to Jason Reitman.
yeah i kinda agree about wit overload by occula	Sep 13th, 2007 05:01:33 PM
believe me, i'm all bout bringing the funny. and i thought TYFS was hy-larious. but i get weary of the 'look at me!' brand of writing where every witticism plus the kitchen sink gets pitched in there. you want real wit? noah baumbach, donald ogden stewart, woody allen. the balance of humor and pathos, coz one without the other is just funny or sad, not the tricky in-between. ok i sound like i'm bashing a film i haven't seen, but i'm gunshy now!
Viggo is "the man" in "The Road"? by snapdome	Sep 13th, 2007 05:02:42 PM

What the fuck is TIFF?
Korean Juno?? by robynn	Sep 14th, 2007 01:09:48 PM
Anyone know if this has any basis from the Korean film, Jenny and Juno? Just wondering from the uncommon 'Juno' name and the fact that it's dealing with teenage pregnancy.

robyn by slkboxrman	Jan 14th, 2008 05:07:12 PM
yes this is a very late response but u are correct....its strange that the movie JUNO just came out and suddenly no one has a review or nuttin..i had to look back in the archives for mention of juno, funny how the movie reviews have been shelved and hidden to avoid the embarrassment for the "original" screenwriters first movie....its fittin that she was a whore for a year before writing this, oh wait im sorry "stripper" , same difference.....cuz she reached in the pockets of the people that wrote the original korean movie and lifted the idea, gave it an american twist, but still wasnt smart enuf to change the title characters name.....hasnt she ever heard of google ? i tried searching for this "great original movie" and guess what i found ?? "jenny and juno" from korea, which coincidently has the same premise, high school girl has an unexpected pregnancy,..and if u ask diablo cody, which must be her stripper name, said it was based on her life as a teen.....ok "diablo" u got busted, own up to the fact u plagiarized the korean movie to a certain extent, dot pull a screenwriting milli vanilli.....ur hot, u can still go back to stripping.....i got a pole right here u can slide up and down on...
