The American indie hit of the year hits high definition.
But is there anything that lifts it above the standard DVD edition?
The arrival ofJunoat UK cinemas earlier this year was like a proverbial breath of fresh air.
The key two reasons for the films success are in line with the hype at the time.
The second reason is Ellen Page.
Still, a repeated viewing does dilute the impact of the film a little.
ButJunois nonetheless one of the best films of the year to date, and easily earns a recommendation.

As for the Blu-ray, its a bit of a mixed bag.
Its a transfer that more than does the job.
All to be expected.
So its onto the extras, which, sadly, mainly feel like a press pack on a disc.
Then theres the a gag reel and gag take.
The latter is Rainn Wilson ranting about lifting a bag, and is decent enough.
The former is a tattily presented collection of corporate-approved outtakes.
They run to around seven minutes in total.
You get to see the cast and crew of Juno jamming.
Its fun, its slight, but it aint what you buy the disc for.
Its a very strong track, and well worthy of your time.
Theres no compelling reason to go high definition over the standard DVD release, though.
