Juno

A Movie Reel

Juno: 9 out of 10.

"Juno" is fantastic.  It's funny, charming and sweet and is powered by a great cast.  It's a great cast, with personal faves J.K. Simmons, Michael Cera and Jason Bateman complemented nicely by Allison Janney, Olivia Thirlby and Jennifer Garner, but this movie kills because of a stellar performance from young Canadian actress Ellen Page.

If you haven't seen "Juno" yet, Ellen Page will blow you away.  She's a breath of fresh air, quirky, funny and smart, and she is the reason this film is nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.  I'm highly recommending this one.

Later today, when I get a chance, I've going to comment further on both the Canadian aspect of this wonderful little film and the "Arrested Development" tie-in.  Stay tuned!
