Juno started off really slow. I was within five minutes of flipping open the laptop and relegating the movie to background noise. But just when I started to think that Juno was a parody of indie - a pretentious after school special with forced dialogue - the movie rallied and got good.
I liked Justin Bateman and Elizabeth garner as the yuppie, hip couple who were trying to adopt the baby. Just about everything rung true for me from the woman who was dying to be a mom to the guy who was scared to get old. The girl star of the movie gets gradually more endearing as the movie goes on.
One warning however: if I had heard one more Belle and Sebastian esque indie pop song I would have gone into a homicidal range. Oddly, they talk about a bunch of different styles of music in this movie, but only play one.
