Film has not aged well, would be POORLY RECEIVED if released today.

I liked this film when it was first released almost 10 years ago. Watched it for the second time nearly a decade later today and realize it has NOT aged well. The way Juno speaks and acts is the epitome of an annoying "hipster". We are supposed to take her seriously when she acts sarcastic and disrespectful to a well off, polite couple willing to take her baby?

Her behavior and attitude about music and all her "quirks"... ehhhh... maybe this movie was THAT influential that it inspired the many movies that followed this that have completely over-done these characters and dialogue in modern independent films...

Overall, I feel like this movie only worked because when it was released at the time the market and our culture wasn't flooded with stuff like this.

How was she disrespectful? She seemed to get along well with both of them (a little too well with Mark).

Did anyone else think "Juno" sucked?

I feel like everyone I've talked to thought it was very original and charming. I couldn't help thinking the whole premise and sequence of events was bullshit. The pregnancy was just one cute plot point rather than the source of any real drama. I also almost vomited at the hipster lingo that was thrown around every other dam line. Yet every 16 year old girl on the planet thought it was some kind of new "Casablanca" or something. It may be a little after the fact but is anyone with me? Vent with me reddit.
