I thought this movie was great... the acting was pretty nice, the management of music was actually very funny, the character of Juno is a complex one.

I really love the dark humor of the family and the dry humor along the movie itself... it reminds me of the movies of Wes Anderson. Perhaps it is not the stupid humor where someone falls and everyone laughs but it has a very interesting humor.

Cinical, Sinister, really interesting. At first I thought it would be too much melodrama. But I find it OK to see it was quite not melodramatic. Perhaps the final scenes were a little bit cheesy but the last scene was a really well achieved scene, in therms of management of music, photography and management of positions. Has a pretty decent photography for being a Hollywood movie.

I think this is the case of movies like Wes Anderson films, like Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou or Jim Jarmusch like Broken Flowers (just that the humor is way darker). Where this type of humor does not appeal to anyone, but the absurd, the dryness and the darkness does appeal to me, therefore I give these movie Two Thumbs Up.

First of all I have to say that I'm from Costa Rica so my view in this movie is clearly different than others.

The movie has a great photography and management of movement. The idea is crude, and realistic. it really contrast a problematic of Costa Rica. but I thought it was sort of a Cliché... (the foreign that goes to another country). I found very interesting that I could spot the places where the movie was being shot because I've been there (although most of the movie actually runs in Nicaragua).

I do believe it is a pride for Costa Rica and Ishtar Yasin to present this movie internationally in so many festivals. Just let's hope the audiovisuals art in Costa Rica continues to grow.

First of all let's make clear that it would be impossible to portrait the book in this title... in my personal I feel the characters where completely different but it was not fault of the actors, probably of the script Anyway taking clear that Garcia Marquez's excellent job is simply impossible to fully adapt to a book it was an overall good production I was amaze by Bardem's performance, specially because it's a real challenge to portrait so many different stages of a same character. The acting of Bardem was (in my opinion) excellent. the photography was simply beautiful (though I admit there where a shot or two that reminded me more of Mexico than Colombia, but overall it was a Colombian landscape) the landscapes where exquisite and the musicality was decent, though Shakira's music I feel ruined it a little (I'm not a big fan of Shakira) in my opinion the BIG mistake of this movie was the fact that it was in English... I find it kind of anti-artistic to perform Colombian characters that speak in English... I believe that the movie has to adapt to the context it develops on, also it completely took off the little of Gabriel García Marquez's magic it had.

Overall I found it a great work... it's not an adaptation to Garcia Marquez's novel, but it was a great movie which I enjoyed.
