Caught Juno a second time on DVD yesterday, still easily my favourite Best Picture nominee from this year's Oscars. Reitman's direction is playful and subtle without ever coming close to being overly artsy. First timer Diablo Cody's witty script eventually reveals a deeply moving, and very human story - not to mention characters you really come to care for, and are sorry to see go as the credits roll on a sweet soundtrack. Much has been said of Ellen Page as the titular character and rightfully so - spouting those wordy witticisms with incredible ease - but all the cast are gold here: Cera, Bateman, Garner and most especially an excellent JK Simmons as Juno's gruff, but loving father.
