It's OK to judge a movie by its trailer. Or rather, most movie goers do, which makes it perfectly acceptable in our book. Here's the latest analysis ...
The movie: "Juno"
In theaters: Dec. 14, with limited releases out now
The plot: Teenager Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) discovers she's pregnant by her best friend (Michael Cera) and tries to give the baby to a couple.
The trailer: Ellen Page riffs on her positive pregnancy test with that guy from "The Office"; Ellen breaks the news to her parents; Michael Cera's the dorky, yet adorable father! Woot! (We love you, Michael!); Ellen's parents run through a litany of things they wish she'd done wrong instead of this, including drugs or a DWI; Ellen scopes out possible 'rents for her unborn baby; Michael gets cute with Ellen; Ellen calls her baby a Sea Monkey; Another girl likes Michael, gives the dreaded "stink eye"; Ellen uses the word "shennanigans."
Sure, the topic's been covered a zillion times, but this looks like a winner.
