Reitman Goes For JunoBy Josh Tyler: 2006-10-03 00:00:00
Like father like son. After the success of his satire Thank You For Not Smoking Ivan Reitman's son Jason Reitman is on track to follow in his father's footsteps as a major Hollywood director. He's already signed up for his next movie, a coming-of-age comedy called Juno.
One problem, it's being described as a movie in the vein of Napoleon Dynamite. Hopefully describing it that way is just some clueless PR agent's attempt to find audience interest by making idiots associate it with something they like, and not an actual admission that Reitman is deliberately ripping off someone's style. Thank You For Not Smoking is pretty original, he doesn't need to engage in knockoffs, at least not yet. Production Weekly has the latest update on the project, and gives us a little more information on what exactly it's about. They say it's a dark comedy about a pregnant teen named Juno McGuff who gets pregnant during a single sex act with her best friend. She decides to adopt her kid out, but then gets a crush on the husband of the couple she plans to hand her baby over to. Yeah, the Napoleon Dynamite thing is definitely the work of some studio suit. That sounds nothing like it. I don’t think we'll see anyone betting whether or not they can throw a football over a mountain in Juno.
