ISLAND LIFE SHORTS

Actors Ellen Page and Michael Cera are teens with a problem in "Juno."

Jason Reitman's sleeper hit "Juno," playing at several O'ahu theaters, is one of your best bets tonight: The comedy about a pregnant teenager and her search for loving parents to raise the baby is charmingly self-conscious without being self-absorbed. Ellen Page, as the lovably snarky Juno, gives the baby bump performance of the season, and Michael Cera ("Superbad") delivers again as an angsty teen baby daddy trying to do the right thing. The film, both hilarious and moving (in a completely different way than this season's other preggers movie, "Knocked Up") deserves every bit of its indie-circuit praise.

FINAL WORD

"I cannot help but dream about what my version of 'Brothers & Sisters' would have looked like. ... Men and women over 45 years of age are in fact very bloody interesting, and not, contrary to the vagaries of demographic and market testing, invisible deliverers of lessons and straight talk."

Jone Robin Baitz | ousted "Brothers & Sisters" writer, on Huffington Post
