Juno is afilm i enjoyed more the second time around. The first time i saw it, it wasn't what i was expecting and probably put me in the back seat because of it, but i can see now the film that it wants to be, and succeeds in being. Its a film about people. Not just Juno. The way her life and situation effects those of the couple wanting to adopt the baby, the way it effects her crush Paulie Bleaker. This is what i wasn't expecting that first time. But Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garners characters are equally as important as Juno. Its whip-smart language and performance from Ellen Page keep its head well above the water, and what could have been a run of the mill story becomes something completely original.
