 Good movie, awful soundtrack February 1, 2008
17 out of 48 found this review helpful
A collection of horrible nursery rhymes with some of the worst, most twee lyrics ever on top of the world's lamest music. Especially since Juno is supposed to be into early punk, this wimpy folk music is extremely annoying.
Unlistenable and pretentious January 26, 2008
15 out of 59 found this review helpful
This soundtrack is simply unlistenable. It seems that most of the "musicians" on this album realize Bob Dylan hasn't written a decent song in forty years, and are trying to make up for that. Unfortunately, they've come up with "songs" that are worse than anything Dylan's thrown away. I'm sorry, but the Greenwich Village folk scene is over. As far as "anti-folk" goes... well, that's just ridiculous on so many levels.
I've yet to see the movie, but I've heard it's quite good. Perhaps a music-less cut will be made available. That would certainly be better than being subjected to "indie" music in an "indie" film.
I miss the days when a film was actually scored by someone with at least a rudimentary knowledge of music history and theory.
 Great Film, Terrrific Soundtrack January 5, 2008
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
Juno is a gentle, sweet, smart and moving comedy. It's a teen flick that works for adults, or an adult flick that works for teens. The soundtrack is the perfect background (and sometimes foreground) to what goes on in the film, but it also stands alone quite nicely. Most of the songs on the album are quiet, indie, folkie, and acoustic, like the Kimya Dawson songs (three of 'em) which are idiosnycractic and wonderful. Kimya Dawson (formerly of the Moldy Peaches who are also represented here) reminds me ALOT of the Be Good Tanyas (which is intended as a compliment), especially on Tire Swing. There are, however, also songs from the Kinks and Buddy Holly and Mott the Hoople which are not acoustic-y folkie. Go out and see the movie and I'm betting you will come back for the music.
Goes great w/the movie, but a disappointment on its own. February 17, 2008

I LOVED the movie, Juno. And, during the movie, I LOVED the music. However, the soundtrack alone...not so enjoyable. The first song on the CD is great, there are a couple others that are good, and the rest....thumbs down.
