"Fox Searchlight sent out a press release this morning “announcing” that Juno has crossed the $100 million mark domestically, and with it, they laid bare their entire strategy for giving this film a platform release and selling is as a “crossover success story” before the film was ever released. Juno was opened like an indie in order to make this press release possible. If it they had just opened it like other films that appeal to the same demographic and fit into the same vague genre??????Superbad, for example??????and it still took twice as long to hit $100 million, even though its star quotient is much higher and its marketing campaign was arguably more aggressive, then that wouldn’t have been news. But make it look like it’s beating the odds, like it’s making history by playing on more screens than The Banger Sisters and making more money than Sideways (as if ANYONE remembers the last time a movie about/for 45 year-olds made more money than a movie about/for 16 year-olds)??????n ...

"The Banger Sisters, which I endured on television, is a terrible movie. Sure Goldie Hawn and Sigourney Weaver can really act, but they have nothing to work with. Plot: Two chicks used to bang rockers, and the one who has continued along those lines descends on the other who has become the beige wife of a successful lawyer and the harrassed mother of two teenage daughters. Predictably, the up-tight mother finds her true self by getting a spikey hair-do, wearing tight silver pants, and generally partying. Theme: As the daughter who is a valedictorian sums up, whether you succeed or fail, be true to yourself. Characters: Not one is believable, except maybe the older daughter. Cinematography: Unremarkable. Soundtrack: Surprisingly pathetic given the theme of rock and roll groupies. Direction: The ending is so hokey, straining so hard to be meaningful, that it contravenes the parameters established by the semi-comic premise of the movie. Jim Bell "
