Finally watched Juno tonight. I know it’s been a year since it came out, but it was always out at the video store when I tried to rent it. That store closed (farewell to the clerk who told me I’d want to watch Casino Royale over and over; yeah, not so much…) but I have Netflix now.

Juno was waiting when I got home. It was good. Ellen Page was solid; she was funny, clever, and moving. The moment in the minivan, when she finishes sobbing but her face is still twitching and not quite over the emotion, was great.

I knew I would probably like Juno long before I watched it. I pulled down a copy of the screenplay around Oscar time and read the first few pages. I was hooked in and had to force myself to stop reading it before I spoiled the movie. Now that I’ve watched it, I’m going to have to read the screenplay and see if it still hooks me.
