One film that received great buzz from the almost-finished Toronto International Film Festival is Juno, a quirky story about a young girl who gets pregnant and decides to give the baby to an eager couple (played by Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) that she found in the Penny Saver.
It's the second film from the director of Thank You For Smoking, and the unusual screenplay was written by a former stripper. The trailer has some funny moments and hints that this is more than just Knocked Up Jr. You can watch it here, if you are so inclined. The lead actress you might recall from the last X-Men movie (or perhaps all of them? I've only see the one); she's actually a Canadian actress and looks very good from the 2 minutes I've seen!
It's great to be in Toronto during "good movie season" where I might actually get to see movies like this one!
