Juno is a January yes.
I'll watch just about anything on the big screen. The small screen is a little bit different. I'm way more selective when it comes to television. So when I saw two actors from the cast of Arrested Development (one of the funniest television shows every created) in an upcoming film I freaked out (to see exactly why, check out the trailer below).
'Juno' stars Jason Bateman and Michael Cerra in this romantic comedy about a teen pregnancy in suburbia. The film also boasts Jennifer Garner (Alias, The Kingdom), J.K. Simmons (Thank You For Smoking, Spiderman 1-3), and Ellen Page (X2: X-men United) as the expectant mother.
This romantic comedy was directed by Jason Reitman, the genius behind 2005's Thank You For Smoking. The film is being distributed by Fox's indie offshoot, Fox Searchlight pictures. Searchlight has been responsible for cult classics galore: Little Miss Sunshine, Napolean Dynamite, and Garden State, which gives me hope for this quirky film.
'Juno' cleaned up at the Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals, and is repping a strong 92 on Rottentomatoes.com. Life lessons and a storyline that shouldn't be funny destine this movie for cult/comedic greatness. If that's not enough, it's going to be playing at the State Theater, that's gotta be a good sign right?
Read me later,
Leap
