“I am a Kraken from the sea!†I defy the backlash, and I stand by my original review. I’ll be damned if Juno doesn’t actually improve on a second viewing. The first fifteen minutes are definitely the weakest, but I’m still amazed at how well the film’s bumper crop of seductive performances and Reitman’s unseen, under-appreciated hand hold up six months later. (Dare I invoke the recently late Sydney Pollack’s precise, poignant comedic direction in Tootsie? I dare.)
