Juno

d/ Jason Reitman

Fun little movie. Precocious 16 year old girl finds herself preggers after a one-time fling with her boyfriend. We follow the complications that ensue.

The film depended on the main character's quirkiness and lovability and they pulled it off. She was unconventional, slangy, preternaturally observant and knowing. None of this seemed like real life...it all took place in some parallel reality that we all wished was the one we lived in. The scenes when she walked down the corridors of her school brushed up against the reality we live in.

Likable, diverting, clever. A success.
