These sporty gentlemen, wearing brightly colored track shorts and retro head bands, passed out Tic Tacs (you have to see the movie to get it) to build up hype for the first press and industry screening of
Jason Reitman's much buzzed about "
Juno" here at the
Toronto International Film Festival. The screening generated a hearty applause for
Fox Searchlight's December release, hinting at perhaps a redux of the success of Reitman's last film, "
Thank You for Smoking." Starring
Ellen Page and
Michael Cera, the film offers super witty dialogue and an indiepop packed score to tell the story of a sixteen-year old girl who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. [James Israel]
