Cute...but little more

Juno 8-14-08 Here we have a rather mediocre film in just about every respect except for its extremely witty dialog. I mean seriously folks its a film about a girl getting pregnant. Maybe I'm just too much of a guy to get why this makes for a wonderful movie premise. Watching Juno I laughed from time to time at Ellen Page and her (sometimes too) clever dialog. Here is a young actress who is quite remarkable in her delivery...razor sharp in fact. She is to be admired even if the film she is starring in isn't. Once the credits rolled I couldn't help but feel that the preceding had been the best bits of films I had already seen and that ultimately it didn't bring enough new ideas to the table. Cute...but little more.
