'Juno'

One word: Overrated.

For one, this movie was great when it was first made and titled "Ghost World," sans the pregnancy with more young Scarlett Johansson.

Two, it's not funny. It's one thing to be not hilarious. But this simply isn't funny. It's sweet. Not funny.

Three, nobody in the movie is even remotely believable. I can imagine why writers wrote over the heads of the younger characters. But the parents and adults? Why do Juno's parents talk like that? Why is the daughter named Liberty Bell? Why did they make Jason Bateman A) an asshole; B) a former rock god from the 1990s who was somehow impressed with Sonic Youth covering The Carpenters?
This movie sucked.
