When a teenage girl is faced with an unexpected pregnancy, she enlists the aid of her best friend in finding the unborn child a suitable home in this coming-of-age comedy drama from Thank You for Smok... read more read more...ing director Jason Reitman. Juno (Ellen Page) may seem wise beyond her years, but after sleeping with classmate Bleeker (Michael Cera), the pregnant teen quickly realizes how little she really knows about life. Thankfully, Juno has been blessed with parents (J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney) who trust their daughter's judgment, and a best friend named Leah (Olivia Thirlby), who's always willing to help out in a pinch. With a little help from Leah, Juno soon comes into contact with Mark (Jason Bateman) and Vanessa (Jennifer Garner) -- an affluent suburban couple who have been unable to conceive a child of their own. Mark and Vanessa seem like they would make great parents, and are eager to adopt Juno's unborn child. Now, as adolescent Juno is faced with a series of very adult decisions, she will draw on the support of her family and friends in order to discover who she truly is, and discover that one bad choice can have a lifetime of consequences. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Juno is unusually smart for what it is, a teen comedy. There are greatly believable performances from the cast and it's got a phenomenally different yet nonetheless impressive coming of age story that to... read moreuched my heart.

    Ellen Page steals the show in Reitman's first classic film, though you do feel like maybe Reitman may have stolen one too many things from Wes Anderson

    Out of the myriad of rom-com's that have come out over the past half decade or so, Juno is the sweetest, most touching of the lot. Full of quirky one-liners and a hint of things being deeper and more complicated than they seem, not a single scene is wasted. Ellen Page gives a p... read morehenomenal performance as the titular character, who has a habit of pushing the limits, but never quite going too far (except the whole pregnancy thing). Juno treats her pregnancy as more of an infection, or disease, that simply gets in the way of you leading your life until its over. All the while, Michael Cera races to the finish line.

    Starring the actress we know from INCEPTION and WHIP IT and the actor we know from SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD and SUPERBAD, JUNO is a ridiculously funny comedy about an unplanned teen pregnancy. When I rented it, even though it was nominated for a few Oscars and was highly prai... read moresed review-wise, I feared that it would be an "indie" twist on the usual dumb-humor farce; but it's extremely simple to say that that's not at all what this was. It was an amazing blend of controversy and laughs that, quite surprisingly, weren't from raunchiness or crudeness, but rather from the cleverness of the plot and sub-plots altogether.

    I hate to see Michael Cera typecast into this sort of role, but everyone else in the movie had to make room for Ellen Page to shine.

    Usually I don't like movies like this but in this case I did. Ellen and Michael have great chemistry and it's just one of those movies that goes by fast. Its a feel good movie. My Dad even liked it lol. :) :) :)

Screenwriter Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman make Juno the marvelously un-still center of a wistfully acerbic comedy that qualifies as a feminized version of Knocked Up. Full Review

Christopher Orr

Christopher Orr, New Republic

Fierce without being cruel, sweet without becoming saccharine, and never short of hilarious, it's not only the best comedy of the year, but one of the best films, period. Full Review

Juno is the best movie of the year. It's the best screenplay of the year, and it features the best actress of the year working with the best acting ensemble of the year. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

The best thing about this movie is that for all its wiseacre badinage, it's utterly believable about the most basic of human situations. Full Review

Juno isn't a film made in the bell jar of unlikely reality that is, far too often, Hollywood: It's a film whose attention to real-life detail is so fine, audiences will be hopelessly and happily lost ... Full Review

It takes Juno about 15 minutes to calm down and get its joke reflex in check. ... And by the end you've fallen in love with the thing. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The film's forced quirkiness constantly threatens to derail the entire enterprise. But it keeps being put back on track by the apparently effortless performance of a great young actress. Full Review

Facts


    • Juno MacGuff: As far as boyfriends go, Paulie Bleeker is totally boss. He is the cheese to my macaroni. And, I know that people are supposed to fall in love before they reproduce, but... I guess normalcy isn't really our style.
    • Mac MacGuff: Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.
    • Juno MacGuff: When I see them all running like that, with their things bouncing around in their shorts, I always picture them naked, even if I don't want to. All I see is pork swords.
    • Juno MacGuff: Hi, I'm calling for a hasty abortion?
    • Juno MacGuff: Shut your gob, Banana!
    • Leah: All right, how about this one? 'Healthy, educated couple seeking infant to join our family of five. You will be compensated. Help us complete the circle of love.'
    • Juno MacGuff: Yeesh, they sound like a cult, is what the sound like! And besides they already have three kids. They're just like greedy little bitches!
