Juno
Director: Jason Reitman
Screenplay: Diablo Cody
Running Time: 96 minutes
It’s easy to see why this pic scored well in so many ways. It shows what happens when all the stars are aligned – how a good director, excellent script and well-cast set of characters make for a great movie.
Cody’s script is the key here, and there is no doubt this young lady is brimming with talent. Special kudos goes to way she manages not one, but two character studies that are turned on their head. Bateman’s Mark goes from a smooth, hip, cool dude to a somewhat creepy guy who has a taste for adolescent girls, while Garner’s Vanessa starts out as a highly strung, wrought, angst ridden, desperate mother-to-be, to finally be a loving, well-adjusted professional woman who only wants the one thing missing in her life that would make her feel complete.
