Juno Trailer Totally won me over before Gone Baby Gone last night.

I mean, really, could any film be more likeable? Ellen Page is cute, and from the looks of the trailer, gives a pitch-perfect performance. Michael Cera remains the world's most potent combination of cuddly and funny. First-time screenwriter (and former stripper) Diablo Cody had a great feature in the holiday preview issue of EW. And if you don't like and root for Jason Bateman, Allison Janney, J.K. Simmons and Rainn Wilson, then you obviously also enjoy kicking dogs and gut-punching four year-olds.

Now Jennifer Garner, I'll admit, I can take or leave. But they can't all be winners, or the theaters simply couldn't hold all the ticket-buyers. The entire moviegoing infrastructure would collapse, and no filmmaker wants that on their conscience.

Ellen Page was excellent in Hard Candy (and, for that matter, X-Men 3). Here, her edge is less cruel and more whimsical – no way you can go wrong with that.

If you find Michael Cera funny or cuddly (or enjoy humor or awesomeness generally), you probably shouldn't miss his cameo on Bob Odenkirk's "Derek & Simon" show. (All the episodes are great, but Cera's turn – as, of all things, a bouncer – is germane to our discussion here.)

People who can take or leave Jennifer Garner, I'll admit, I can take or leave. But onebee wouldn't work with a commenter pool of only me, so we make do with what we have...

Perhaps when I finally get around to watching Alias, it will change my point of view.

If looking at Jennifer Garner isn't getting the job done, I'm not sure there's anything left to try.

BWAHHHH???????

"You know, I've never understood why people ate so much ketchup. I don't really get it. Perhaps when I finally get around to trying it on french fries or a hot dog, it will change my point of view."

"What's the story with bread, anyway? I mean, it's okay and everything... Perhaps when I finally get around to eating a sandwich, it will change my point of view."
