Meg and Billy make the funniest couple.
Harry: You were going to be a gymnast.
Sally: A journalist.
Harry: Right, that's what I said.
But the best is this, bar none:
Harry to Sally: I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Juno
2007, PG-13)
Is this movie witty? funny? brilliant? YES to all that and more. Ellen Page got the role of her lifetime and might not be any luckier next time. But that's ok, because She WAS Juno. No budding actress in mind can be more than perfect for it. She owned the role, and got an Oscar nomination to boot. Loved the soundtrack as well (not only because i dig Belle and Sebastian, but it's definitely icing on the cake).

what do you get when you put together a self-contained OC, a tired mom-woman, and a decent gay guy? an exceptional premise for a movie that has good in the title but is indeed Great.

this would forever be Nia Vardalos' best work, as a writer and a star. witty and utterly funny. Rita Wilson had great insight for knowing this play would become a great hit in film.

instances when one can forgive an unhappy ending: if the film has an intriguing story line, when the acting is superb, and the soundtrack becomes a classic favorite (Peter Gabriel, Jimi Hendrix, Paula Cole, GooGooDolls, Alanis M! oh my)

Probably one of the best adaptations. Loved all three women's acting. I never thought much of Julianne Moore, but here she proves herself. That scene in the bathroom where she tries to hide that she's crying? Brilliant.
What else to say of Meryl but she never disappoints. Nicole Kidman does not only have the best prosthetic nose ever made for a film, but she gets the mood and eerily I sense Virginia Woolf was on the screen, and not dead. Ed Harris, so heart-breaking and fine here. I don't think I'll ever give justice writing about this film. I know I probably am in the minority, who enjoyed this. But I'm weird that way.

Just when you think that big ensemble cast-family movies is a thing of the 90s, Peter Hedges serves us this. This poignant and honest and beautifully-acted and written film. No surprise really for the writing; Hedges gave us the iconic "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and perfectly adapted Hornby's "About A Boy" a few years ago. This guy should make more films! He's a genius.
Now the actors. This may be Steve Carell's
best here, showcasing both great comic timing and amazing dramatic depth. He thrives in this genre (e.g. Little Miss Sunshine) which makes you forget he's the guy in that movie about old virgins. Because he's a far better dramatic actor. He can do "The Office" forever if he wants to, for our dose of his comic chops. But please no more Evan Almightys.
Juliette Binoche was refreshing. Not in that
temptress-Chocolat-way. She didn't sell her looks here (we see less make up and more wrinkles, yet au naturelle she's truly beautiful). It was an honest take of a middle-aged woman on a crossroads.
And what could go wrong having Dianne Weist on this film as Dan's mother? She's underrated,really. She can make any bad movie bearable with her in it. Thank God this isn't one of those.
Great ensemble cast + brilliant script + lovely OST = a Perfect movie.
