    When it arrived in 2007 i heard alot of great things about it especially from one of my friends. And i finally saw it and i was disappointed. I guess it was because nothing really happened externally. And i thought, is this a chickflick??

    So is this a film which was targeted at mainly females and gays or was it a really bad film with extremely good advertising and reviews??

    It was okay. Funny in parts but not particularly memorable nor a film that I would willingly see again.

    I thought it was good, nothing extraordinary but still quite enjoyable.

    Never saw it, though my movie-critic friends say it was awesome.

    I certainly didn't hate it. A bit too quirky at times, and I wasn't particularly fond of the entire Bateman/garner story arc.
    But I like Ellen Page, so it gets a pass from me.

    It was good, but a tad over hyped. I agree with Manco about the Bateman/Garner part, it didnt really add much to the story.

    Was good, entertaining, but certainly not great.

    This movie got me laughing so hard in the theaters, I connected with it's humor so that's probably why you didn't like it. It's also sweet and genuine so it gets extra points for that.

    It is in short chicken soup for the soul, but some one put hot sauce in.... It did not work well.

    I liked it, yes I guess its suppose to be a "chick" film but it was entertaining to me and thats all that matters. Alot of us straight males can watch a movie without giant robots blowing up

    It was okay. Enjoyable, but not the OSMBBQ that critics were presenting it as.

    Waaay over hyped. In fact, the girl irritated the crap out of me. I actually enjoy chick flicks, but Juno was garbage as far as I'm concerned. Plus I can't stand Michael Cera.

    The story wasn't the selling point to me but more of Cera's and Pages interaction. Good movie just for that alone.

    No. It was even worse since it's supposed to be set in my home state, everyone went ape over it.
