I just got home from seeing the Movie Juno and I thought it was a Great film. Music plays a somewhat big roll in the movie and so does hamburger phones so i was just wondering what your ideas are for it?
I thought there should DEFINITLY be a song called The Tic-Tac Fruity

I'm with dramarama on this one. I was disturbed enough at the pre-teen and young teen girls oohing and aww-ing over how "cute" and "cool" Jun being pregnant and having a baby was. I even heard a few of them saying "That doesn't look so bad, being pregnant. Why does everyone think it's so bad if you have a baby?"
NO!!!!!!!!!!!
LIVE THAT LESSON!!!!!!

Not to mention, for some reason, all I could hear was "AAAAAAW!" from every teen girl in the audience whenever Michael Cera opened his mouth.
If I hear one more "What if ____ were a musical?!" suggestion...

Oh God.
The shows starts with Juno's plaintive ballad "Keeping It Real."

Yeah, yeah, we need "Juno" the musical, as much as we need "Norbit" the Musical.
But I actually did like the film, and am in no way comparing it to the awful Norbit.

No.
And what does the hamburger phone have anything to do with bringing it to Broadway anyway?
#15re: Juno the Musical?
Posted: 1/13/08 at 7:16pmSweetQ -- Broadway has obviously been missing out on a big number like "Can You Repeat That, I Need To Shake My Hamburger Phone"

no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. NO.
Seriously just because half of the shows currently and recently on broadway are based off of movies does not mean that every movie needs to become a broadway show.
Cages or wings? Which do you prefer? Ask the birds. Fear or love, baby? Don't say the answer Actions speak louder than words. (Tick, Tick... BOOM!)

NO. Just because a movie is good, gets critical acclaim, etc, does NOT mean it should be made into a musical

Thanks, CyCoSpAz2. I actually prefer hotdogs so maybe they can make a hotdog song to go along with the hamburger.

Yeah. With Kristin Chenoweth as the girl.
Please.
Not every film needs to be a musical.
And JUNO is a good not great film. It is pretty much a retread of GHOST WORLD and SAVED!. The best perf in the film belongs to the underrated Alison Janney.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but if it doesn't have anything where eyes can be put on hats or there isn't a donkey or it can't be mistaken for Ice Capades, it'll have some trouble getting anyone interested.
