Juno needs to take some fashion lessons from her japanese counter part. MS ishihara is a beautiful work of art a tribute to how a female should look. Look at how her hair perfectly accents around her face. just enough lip stick on here perfect lips, and that dress hugs her perfectly shaped body. I guess I'm jaded. Comparing the two of these girls is just like comparing the Japanese cherry blossom sakura and the Canadian maple leaf. no comparison. Japan 1 Canada 0

The look on Ellen Page's face says: No-one told me it was a formal.

And any woman who'd wear what Ellen's wearing to a press event in Japan sure ain't no genius.

Dewd, she's dressed like her character in the movie. Made-up really differently though...

rjd_jr...Sorry I did not respond ealier to your reply. But, I guess, unlike you, I actually have a life. In any case, I'm not the only poster who is not enamored by Ishihara. There are several who think as I do in fact: "beauty fades, dumb is forever", "looks like your typical pretty Japanese girl", and, "the Japanese girl just looks silly and vapid." Besides, as you admit, you have only "been to Japan", so your opinion is questionable anyway.

Boioioionnnnng!!!

Blimey! What a corker. If it was this Ishihara who'd stolen the dosh from ShinGinko Tokyo, I might be more inclined to listen to the excuses. I'm sure we could come to some arrangement.

All these terrible comments, so nasty. Anyway it's not Ellen Page's fault I'm sure for dressing and looking the way she does. I think anyway. And I think we all know if we saw these two at a party which one we'd be all over. I'd ask the other one if she could be the designated driver.

Looking, no. God dealt her poor hand for a celeb. Dressing, yes. She's misplaying her hand. It's like she's playing

Juno has to be one of the worst movies for anyone in their teenage years to view. When it came up for Best Picture Oscar, I hoped and prayed that it wouldn't win, and glad it didn't. Moviesl ike this, that make such a deep impact -- or have the potential to -- and are basically encouraging teens to go out and have sex with whomever they want, and, when the consequences come knocking, thumb their noses at parents, as long as its "totally cool, because (they've) already found a couple who wants to adopt the baby..." What a travesty of a movie! I'm sorry that it ever came out, and became as succsseful as it became. I hope that this movie, and the actors and actresses that played in it, never have any success again. This movie will destroy the liveso f millions, and if it is ever remade, it will only cause harm and no good in any country where it is displayed...

I thought Juno was a very good movie and showed life as pretty much reality. do we really need another movie where she has the kid, gets married and lives happily ever after? is that what you want to see? if so, that is not real life.

some posters seem very bitter.

That ellen girl isnt neccesarily that bad looking, but damn Ishihara... WHo cares if shes silly and vapid? Yes, beauty fades, but luckily its last long enough to appreciate. Girl like that I imagine woiuld be hard to keep anyway, so you can just make the most before she withers.
