giving away babies like free ipods
Just saw Juno yesterday with my girlfriend and her mum and absolutely adored it. The first few minutes, I worried the film might overdo itself with its own quirkiness, but my fears were quickly allayed as I became hopelessly enthralled by the incredible Ellen Page (and a bevy of other exceedingly talented actors like Allison Janney, J.K. Simmons and Michael Cera; even Jennifer Garner impressed me in her role as the sentimental, slightly overbearing and barely-the-decent-side-of-desperate Vanessa). Page was truly phenomenal, striking a perfect balance in the character of Juno between wisdom beyond her years and the vital naiveta of adolescence, while also managing to embody a teenaged angst overlaid with snark and a charming wit.
