Quick question - does the film juno have a happy or a sad ending?

[LovelyTinOfSpam]

Suuposed to be a good film but read the precis and it sounds like it might have a sad ending.

Not up to it at the moment - just had baby and a bit hormonal!

So is it happy or sad?

Thanks!

No I'm fairly sure that would have made me cry!

[DebiNewberry]

totally off topic. but I watched Things we lost in the fire last night. God, it was amazing. And I cried and cried.

Benicio del toro. Bloody hell.

[LovelyTinOfSpam]

Oh slight welling up...

[expatinscotland]

Yep. You are wasting precious minutes of your life on that load of codswallop.

[LovelyTinOfSpam]

Is that it?

Well it was OK. Have sat through a lot worse.

Was a bit confused as to why the spoddy boyfriend was being so normal about everything when in real life he would have been so freaked out he'd have shot off in the other direction every time he saw her, surely?

'Was a bit confused as to why the spoddy boyfriend was being so normal about everything when in real life he would have been so freaked out he'd have shot off in the other direction every time he saw her, surely? '

Well, yes, and in real life the whole thing would have had about a zero percent chance of happening, much less been handled how it was.

Hence, why it's a kack film.

[LovelyTinOfSpam]

Well it passed a couple of hours. All a bit of a non event really.

I can't work up a really fervent response like you though, expat. maybe I'm just past caring

[PartOfTheHumphreysGroup]

Meh.

[LovelyTinOfSpam]

Ah yes, of course, meh.

So much more succinct!

I liked it because I was worried partway through that Jennifer Garner's character was going to end up being punished, ie child withheld, for being a 'neurotic nagging wife' (I'm guessing some reviewers would think her) and was glad she didn't. I'd agree that the 16-year-olds are utterly unrealistic, but I was content just to find them entertaining. I really liked Juno's stepmum actually.

I had a fad for watching pregnancy-themed films while pregnant and saw Babymama (not bad), Baby Boom (hideously 80s, even for me!) and Nine Months (v. lame). However, worst of all was Knocked Up. I wish I could get back the £5 I'd paid for it in HMV. Watched it with a friend and we had to stop partway through and go to Spar for some chocolate as we were losing the will to live. It just seemed so long for what it was, and the blokes seemed utterly without redeeming qualities, while the message for women seemed to be 'lower your expectations of having a job, a life, or a half-decent man to zero once you get pregnant, and you'll get by OK'. That poor woman. Just awful. I have never trusted the Guardian's film critic since as he thought it was 'touching and sweet' or some such rubbish!

I, as you can see, can't match the succinctness of 'meh'.

i liked juno for a bit of quirky humour.
i absolutely loved knocked up, anything with paul rudd in it is on to a winner.
