I think Juno sucked, and I'll give my reasons.

- It tries too hard to be artsy. I hate art films that are too pretentious and not self-aware. "Garden State" is a movie that ISN'T like that. It too is an art film, but it manages to skip all the bullshit and just be a MOVIE.

Why Juno tries too hard, and ends up sucking:

"It began with a chair." - first line.
What the fuck began with a chair? They had sex on a couch. This line is an example of being "artsy", but in all honesty, it means absolutely NOTHING. Terrible writing.

- Walking around with Sunny D.
- Completely retarded music.
- Orange Tic-Tacs.
- Hamburger Phone.
- "It ended with a chair."

Once again, these are examples of it TRYING to be artsy, but it fails. It's just random bullshit that tries to have meaning... I think today's definition of making an art-film is just "throwing together as many weird things as possible, and hope to be original and different".. and that's very sad.

Hell, the academy even fell for it. How this movie is nominated for Best Picture, I'll never know. That's probably the WORST choice for a nomination I've EVER seen.

Watch Garden State.
