Headlined by Jennifer Garner and “Arrested Development” favorites Jason Bateman and Michael Cera, “Juno” seemed poised to be a great, funny, well-acted film. It wasn’t.Jennifer Garner was high-strung and anxious, as if she were in an episode of “Alias.” The only role Michael Cera’s capable of playing—the aloof and awkward George Michael of “Arrested Development”—worked well...
