Titles Comprise: Juno: Fresh original and ceaselessly entertaining Jason Reitman's Juno is one of the brightest and funniest comedies of the decade. With scathingly sharp dialogue and intangible character chemistry Juno is a coming-of-age film that is consistently funny and effortlessly cool. Sixteen-year-old Minnesota high-school student Juno Maguff (Ellen Page) is a rebellious outwardly confident and highly articulate teenager with a penchant for seventies punk and Dario Argento horror. Faced with an unexpected pregnancy the result of an experimental encounter with... calm amiable and sweetly reserved best friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera) Juno has to make the biggest decision of her life. Weighing up her options with reliable and quirky cheerleader friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby) brazen Juno chooses to carry out the pregnancy and scour the local ads paper for potential adoptive parents for her unborn child. In the young yuppie couple of cool laidback Mark (Jason Bateman) and meticulous child-needy Vanessa (Jennifer Garner) Juno finds seemingly perfect prospective parents. So as Juno delves into the unknown responsibility of a very adult world will everything go according to plan? The sensational performances of the entire cast particularly Ellen Page (Hard Candy) and Michael Cera (Superbad) enable you to become hopelessly and happily lost in the story and with Jason Reitman's seamless direction and real-life attention to detail much like Judd Apatow's Knocked Up Juno bristles with vitality and heart. But it's the edgy freshness of first-time scriptwriter Diablo Cody's quick-fire dialogue that really makes Juno such a warm wonderful and inspired comedy. Juno portrays ordinary - ordinarily eccentric - people dealing with difficult situations with humour warmth and decency. Little Miss Sunshine Brazenly satirical and yet deeply human the film introduces audiences to one of the most endearingly fractured families in recent cinema history: the Hoovers whose trip to a pre-pubescent beauty pageant results not only in comic mayhem but in death transformation and a moving look at the surprising rewards of being losers in a winning-crazed culture. A runaway hit at the Sundance Film Festival where it played to standing ovations the film strikes a nerve with everyone who's ever been awestruck by how their muddled families seem to make it after all. Waitress is director Adrienne Shelly's sweet sassy comedy about the power of friendship motherhood and second chances starring the radiant Keri Russell.. Jenna (Russell) is a waitress working at a pie shop in the Deep South who is unhappily married to an abusive husband (Jeremy Sisto)... and pregnant with his baby. It leads her to the town's charming new doctor (Nathan Fillion) who she falls into a relationship with in a last attempt at happiness. [show more]

Triple bill of quirky comedies. 'Juno' (2007) is an upbeat coming-of-age story about a smart teenage girl who has to face life full on when she falls pregnant. When Juno (Ellen Page), a teenager with all the answers, finds out she's pregnant to her classmate Bleeker (Michael Cera), she soon realises she has to ask for help from family and friends. Luckily, she enlists the help of her best friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby) in trying to find a couple to adopt her unborn child, while her understanding parents (J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney) provide the support she needs to help her through some tough times. When Leah finally uncovers a young, affluent couple, Mark and Vanessa (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), desperate to adopt, it seems the perfect solution, until Juno finds herself having to face some serious adult decisions while trying to figure out her place in the world. 'Little Miss Sunshine' (2006) is a heartwarming comedy following a dysfunctional family on a frantic road trip across the US in a decrepit Volkswagen van to deliver their youngest to a child beauty pageant on time. Olive Hoover (Abigail Breslin) is an ordinary little girl, perhaps even on the plain side as far as looks go but she has a dream cast in stone - to win the Little Miss Sunshine child beauty pageant. Her heroin-snorting grandfather (Alan Arkin) coaches her in some rather unorthodox techniques - when he's not on the nod. Her mum (Toni Collette) and dad (Greg Kinnear) are at each other's throats because dad has sunk their entire worth into a self-help business that's a total non-starter. Her philosophically-constipated older brother (Paul Dano) has taken a vow of nihilistic silence and her suicidal gay uncle (Steve Carell) has come to stay for a while after yet another failed attempt to cash out early. Has Olive got a chance? 'Waitress' (2007) is a rom-com about a small-town waitress whose desperation to change her life and train-wreck marriage is brought to a head when she discovers she's pregnant. Working at a pie-shop in the Deep South, popular waitress Jenna (Keri Russell) longs for the day when she can say goodbye to her domineering husband (Jeremy Sisto). Relieving her stress by baking pies inspired by her predicament, Jenna feels her ship has already sailed, until the town's gorgeous new Doctor (Nathan Fillier) tells her she's pregnant. As her life begins to change in ways she could never imagine, Jenna embarks on an affair with her married doctor, determined to grab one last chance at happiness.
