Juno
Juno is sort of a younger, hipper version of
Waitress . We saw Juno at the multiplex; Waitress on DVD. Both are comical treatments of accidental pregnancy, veering from precocious to whimsical=. And both are almost entirely sustained by their leading actress - Ellen Page and Keri Russel, respectively. If you can get over the hyperbolic writing (and Juno is almost cloyingly sardonic), the films are pleasant enough. Where they differ is with the different take on the father - Juno's high-school senior mate is earnest but quiet, while Waitress's is a minor monster. But everyone ends up happily every after (except the bad guy).
