Juno **
Jason Reitman, 2007
US
@ Clearview Chelsea

I don't think I laughed for at least the first half hour. Maybe it was the complete saturation bombing of the trailer this fall, but nothing seemed more than snarky. Eventually there were a number of scenes I liked, almost all of them involving Michael Cera. Is it a good movie though? I'm not sure if the direction was all that good, and there were definitely some strange scenes and exchanges. The memorable bits are just so memorable.

For the record, Vancouver does not really look enough like Minnesota to just hope and pretend that it will. They could have at least shot in Ontario or something.

Does anybody else think it's creepy how much Allison Janney looks like Justine Bateman? As if to suggest that perhaps Juno's stepmother is like a long-lost relative of the prospective adoptive parents of Juno's child?
