Juno: The Shooting Script, by Diablo Cody, Ivan Reitman
5.0
I sort of liked becoming furniture in your weird life.
This has to be one of my favorite movie dialogues in a long time. Juno By Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody is an all time favorite of mine. It stars some of the most underrated actors these days like Bateman, Simmons, Thirbly, Page and Cera.
When I got the chance to read this, I was a bit skeptical; It's not exactly a book, so I thought I wouldn't be really taking anything away from it that I didn't already absorb with the movie. I was pleasantly surprised. It's almost the same but there are small gestures and actions that Cody seems to have thought through, that I, as a viewer, neglected. The amount of thought and intricately crafted realism in the script is also very astonishing.
The script also made me appreciate Ellen Page a little bit more. In the hands of someone less capable, this would have seemed ill fit or pretentious, but Page manages to effortlessly imbibe Cody's intentions and yet sets apart her own individual manifestation of Juno.
All in all, If you LOVE the movie, you should check it out.
