The dialogue in the first few scenes was very forced (Rainn Wilson's part was especially painful), but I thought it settled into a groove. I laughed, I cried... ok, I didn't cry, but there was a sweetness to it that I found charming. After those first few scenes, Ellen Page was quite good (enough so that I subsequently rented HARD CANDY, which, if nothing else, is a showcase for her serious acting chops). Then again, I have a much higher opinion of THANK YOU FOR SMOKING as well. I really enjoyed JUNO.
