Juno

Anyone else love this movie?

Just saw it for the second time today, which is very rare for me. I just love it! It's funny, endearing and smart. The script just zips along, rarely getting bogged down and handling every situation in the film so well. It feels very real and down-to-earth and not at all preachy or cliche, which it easily could have been.

And that cast! Ellen Page! Michael Cera! Jason Bateman! Juno Dad! Allison Janney! Jason Bateman's getting the most of my love both for handling an interesting arc that could have been really lame if he were not so subtle and also because Michael Cera is practically jailbait so I must focus on him. But oh man, Paulie Bleeker makes me wish I was in high school again so I could fall in love with a boy like him! And Ellen Page as Juno just totally works it, making her character and situation very real and easy to relate to, and almost admire for her attitude. The chemistry between her and her best friend is perfect and almost enviable. Allison Janney and JK Simmons are brilliant in their roles as supportive and no-bs parents, almost everything out of their mouths made me either laugh or tear up. Fabulous!

If you haven't seen this yet, go!
