I felt it was suitable, because, while Juno faces many of the <em>expected</em> tribulations of pregnancy - should I keep it, what will people think, labour anxiety - she deals too with some conflicts we wouldn't immediately expect, such as what to do when the man adopting your child has a romantic interest in you.

That's the thing with polarized reviews, they pique my curiosity. Will I agree with the critics, Isaac? Or will I agree with YOU? WELL?? WILL I?? Thanks Isaac…now I want to see Goats.

Definitely need to catch Up in the Air soon. Clooney is, indeed, the man. Not sure I'd say Juno dealt with "the unexpected challenges of teen pregnancy" it's pretty much accepted that teen pregnancy is tough. More like it's about a girl trying to do the best thing given a really difficult set of circumstances. well, whatever I'm nitpicking I guess well I caught Men Who Stare at Goats and it was awesome- I had a lot of fun with it, everything in it just builds and intertwines with itself, culminating in a tight film overall and what I thought was a fantastic ending.

It was a wide one that did so poorly that it was pulled out of theaters really quickly. I wanted to see it, but it got horrible reviews and I missed it.

I don't know the production history here, but I wouldn't be the tiniest bit surprised to learn that this film got made because Clooney signed on. Look at Syriana, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Goodnight and Good Luck. These are the kind of projects people are too chicken to finance until GC shows up. I respect the guy like mad.
