All I had growing up for teen "dramaedy" was John Hughes films....sigh. SO at least in my 40's I can enjoy movies that I wish I could have seen in my youth. "Superbad" would have been a much better film for me in my teens than "Weird Science".

That said... I'm on my usual wintertime movie jag and this evening I watched Juno. It is some mighty good stuff. Go and see it, smart, funny, very touching without being schmaltz.

Some of my favorite character actors are included, J.K. Simmons, Allison Janney and Jason Bateman (not so much a character actor but still a favorite). Directed by Jason Reitman (son of Ivan) who's last film, Thank You for Smoking was another favorite.
