Honest to blog:

Eliza Hajek — Monday, December 17th, 2007

I came across this article by Emily over at Gawker and felt compelled to repost it here, because I feel the same way. What initially compelled me to want see the Cody/Reitman juggernaut Juno was the exact reason I left the theater with several handfuls of hair missing.

I’m not here to say that Juno is devoid of any positive characteristics, on the contrary! I have no complaints about the rest of the film. However, when I left the theater amidst the endless nattering about the sassy and  precocious dialogue, I felt a strange desire to head to Costco to stock up in preparation of a long winter in hiding because otherwise I will probably be stoned to death by the film’s devout admirers.

    THANK YOU!
    I thought the same thing but couldn’t find the words to describe the feeling: it’s the sassy, precocious dialogue!

    for awhile i’ve failed to understand why everyone thought juno was the best thing since sliced bread. perhaps someone’s bread is sliced a bit too thick…?
