I feel both movies deserve equal credit, but I ever-so-slightly prefer Juno and therefore I guess I'm glad it's the one of the two that's gotten so much critical/commercial love.
Even the most primitive society has an innate respect for the insane.

Thank You For Smoking Is much more intelligent than Juno.

Agreed, it's his most scathing film he's made (I've not seen Young Adult) and it's all the better for it. He seems to have lost his anger at the world and now just accepts his fate, which both Juno and Up In the Air both feel like they are doing. I hope Young Adult sees him back to form.

EVERYTHING is better than juno.

Couldn't agree moreFor me, it's Up In The Air > TYfS >>>> Juno

Yep. Totally. It was even better than Up In the Air. Smoking hot!

I agree with the OP.

Anyone here agree that Thank You For Smoking was better than Juno?
i would say it's close either way depends on what mood i am in. i think the idea behind 'Thank You For Smoking' is better than 'Juno' but both films where quite good.
i give 2000both films a 8/10. so i guess it mostly boils down to if you buy into the hype or not. in fact, when i first seen the previews on 'Juno' i thought the film looked stupid so i kept putting off seeing it but i eventually got around to seeing it and it turned out MUCH better than i expected it to be.
p.s. Jason Reitman is 3 for 3 now after i seen his recent film 'Up in the Air' which i also gave a 8/10.
also on a side note i think in a way 'Thank You For Smoking' somewhat feels like a film i consider to be a masterpiece which is 'Lord of War' (2005) as the basic ideas behind it are similar but instead of being about Gun Running it's about Cigarettes etc.

True, jzappa.

absolutely

Absolutely! TYFS is a brilliant masterpiece really, Juno was ok and kinda pretentious.

I agree.

I'm glad that others agree with me! Yay Thank You for Smoking!

I enjoyed Thank You For Smoking much more than Juno. Juno had a terrible soundtrack, was pretentious, even though funny at times.
I felt Thank You For Smoking was really good.

Agree, mainly because I prefer Reitman's script to Diablo Cody's.

Yes, to all.
It's made from bits of real panther, so you know it's good

Both of these movies are pretty good.I think TYFS is probably a little better,sometimes Juno was annoying.Both are good efforts and I think Reitman's best work is all ahead of him.

I don't agree that it was "grossly overappreciated", but I did like this movie better than Juno. Juno's still great though.
Stuff like this reminds me of "Movie Poop Shoot.com" from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
