I didn't really like Juno

I didn't mind it, but I didn't fall head over heels in love with that awkwardly self-conscious hamburger phone.

I started liking the movie around the last third when the self-aware coy/smartassishness let in some genuine emotion and stakes.

I generally agree with this take:

I just watched it, and liked it. The smart-assness and the quirky language didn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would. The second half was probably better though.
