I'm still up in the air about Tully (no pun intended).

Juno was the first Jason Reitman film I saw, and it still has not been beat.
Sara: Good-bye, father Isak. Can't you see you're the one I love? Today, tomorrow and forever.
Isak Borg: I'll keep that in mind.

Labor Day (2013)
★ ★ ½
The premise, putting together a depressed single mom with an escaped convict, is questionable throughout, but you couldn’t cast better than Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, who never step back to question what the film is doing. It plays like Douglas Sirk adapted by Nicholas Sparks, which is a good fit for Reitman but a hard film to be on board with.
