Somewhere between the sharp satire of Election and the rich human comedy of You Can Count On Me lies Juno, a sardonic but ultimately compassionate story of a pregnant teenage girl who wants to give her baby up for adoption. Social misfit Juno (Ellen Page, Hard Candy, X-Men: The Last Stand) protects herself with a caustic wit, but when she gets pregnant by her friend Paulie (Michael Cera, Superbad), Juno finds herself unwilling to terminate the pregnancy. When she chooses a couple who place a classified ad looking to adopt, Juno gets drawn further into their lives than she anticipated. But Juno is much more than its plot; the stylized dialogue (by screenwriter Diablo Cody) seems forced at first, but soon creates a richly textured world, greatly aided by superb performances by Page, Cera, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman as the prospective parents, and J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man) and Allison Janney as Juno's father and stepmother. Director Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking) deftly keeps the movie from slipping into easy, shallow sarcasm or foundering in sentimentality. The result is smarter and funnier than you might expect from the subject matter, and warmer and more touching than you might expect from the cocky attitude. Page's performance is deceptively simple; she never asks the audience to love her, yet she effortlessly carries a movie in which she's in almost every scene. That's star power. --Bret Fetzer Get to Know Juno's Cast

This is one of the best movies I've seen in awhile. Although it is a tough story, of a 16 year old getting pregnant, this movie will make you laugh throughout. The dialog the characters use is so great and bizarre at the same time. It definitely deserved the Oscar for best screenplay. This is a movie I can watch over and over. Ellen Page is a new comer to watch out for she was amazing. Michael Cera does a great job again of making us all feel a little uncomfortable with his awkwardness. I absolutely loved this movie!!! And I recommend it because it is a movie everyone can enjoy.
Funny, Heart Tugging, and must see... May 17, 2008

Juno MacGuff, is 16 and pregnant. On her way to the Abortion clinic, one of her teenage high school friends catches her attention by letting her know that her 12 week old fetus has finger nails - this hits home with Juno that something human is growing inside of her - so she decides to put the baby up for adoption. She finds her adoptive parents in the want-ads and the story grows from here.
Juno reminds me of the great French film Amelie - it's hard not to smile throughout this movie and the feel-good-finish tugs at your heart. Ellen Page, who plans Juno MacGuff, is the star of the show - she's quirky and sarcastic with her one-liners yet you are drawn to her as she wrestles with one of life's toughest challenges.
The catchy contemporary folk songs round out this "must-see" movie.
Awesome movie May 17, 2008

Great movie. It absolutely substantiates the idea that you don't have to give up your life if you get knocked up as a young teenager. A lot of societies, including where I grew up, insist that you need to take up responsibility for your "mistakes" and bind innocent children to resentful parents. The movie is very well written and the actors are great and funny. I'd recommend this to anyone.
Hilarious, fun, touching, warm, cute, what can I say? May 16, 2008

I love this movie! First of all, it's laugh-out-loud funny. The language is fast and off-the-wall and you'll wish you had a kid with you to translate, but then you'll find yourself using (or at least thinking) with some of these expressions. (If you are way over the hill like me, it's fun to at least sound cool again! LOL)
Juno is your typical "misfit" kid, albeit with a very quick wit and her own take on the world. She's crushing on Paulie, who is not your typical teen-movie hottie, and so, she seduces him, resulting in yep, another teen pregnancy.
I think this movie is a *must* for parents of teens or pre-teens. Even if you need a translator. Watch it with your kids and talk about it. Even if it scares the crap out of you.
P.S., I love the music, too.
