Juno.



It’s not often that you can include the words “charming” and "sweet" in the same sentence with the phrase “teen pregnancy.” Juno is a wonderfully engaging look into the unusually simple world of a pregnant teenager named Juno, played by Ellen Page. Great performances by the sublime Jason Bateman, ageless Michael Cera, sharp Allison Janney (from TV's The West Wing) and hard-soft JK Simons (Thank You for Smoking) and a rock-solid screenplay make this a must see. Ellen Page’s performance is one that most young actresses dream of—and she nails it. The great soundtrack, including a can’t-get-it-outta-your-head song by The Moldy Peaches, was mostly selected by Page herself. See this movie and see why great writing makes for great entertainment. But is is worth giving up a season of my favs The Office and Brothers and Sisters and missing out on The Daily Show with my Jon Stewart during such important times in Iowa and New Hampshire? OK, enough about unions and management and can't we all just get along...
