Juno & Jane

Finally saw Juno over the weekend, and it's as good as people say. But the current most recent Jane Austen revival somehow came to mind while I was thinking about what I'd seen, and Juno as Jane Austen heroine isn't really as much of a stretch as it seems. Like Emma, Juno is bright, insightful, but unaware of when she's sailing into waters over her head until it's too late.

P.S. Ellen Page may live until she's ninety and never have a role this good again.
