Amazon.com Director Jason Reitman's warm, compassionate comedy about an unanticipated teen pregnancy was not only a dark horse Oscar nominee for Best Picture, but saw this soundtrack CD top the charts just two weeks after its release. It's a collection wherein quirky, generation-spanning folk and rock choices are rooted in something more rewarding than mere eclecticism for its own sake--namely the sense of unlikely, hopeful humanity that Kimya Dawson's core songs bring to its slightly askew axis. Dawson's spotlight performances here range from a handful of decidedly twee solo cuts, to the album's key "Anyone Else But You," (her 2001 duet with Adam Green released under the Moldy Peaches moniker,) and a couple more upbeat oddballs by the singer's more recent Antsy Pants project. That effusively innocent musical core is augmented with a pair of eminently sympathetic tracks from Scottish twee-pop magnates Belle and Sebastian, then seasoned with a mix of catalog tracks that spans eras from Buddy Holly to Sonic Youth--utilizing styles as diverse as the Kinks, Mott the Hoople, and Velvet Underground--that nonetheless manage to bolster the film's tender emotions with a graceful, (if skewed,) charm that's hard to resist. --Jerry McCulley
Amazon.com Fox Searchlight Picture's December 2007 coming-of-age comedy Juno, directed by Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking). The narrative centers on whip-smart Juno (Ellen Page, in a breakthrough role), a teenage girl faced with an unplanned pregnancy from an afternoon with the charmingly unassuming Bleeker (Michael Cera). Juno finds her unborn baby the perfect set of parents in Mark and Vanessa Loring (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), an affluent suburban couple who are eager to adopt. Along with the total support of her parents, (Allison Janney and J.K. Simmons) Juno conquers her problems head-on, displaying a youthful exuberance that is both smart and unexpected. The film was an official selection at this year's Telluride, Toronto, and London film festivals and received the Best Film award at the Rome International Film Festival. The soundtrack to Juno mixes classic rock favorites with indie-rock gems. More from Juno soundtrack

Buy it for the classic alt rock alone July 26, 2008 The classic music in this, like "all the young dudes" is the best you can find. And of course both versions of "anyone else but you" is permanently stuck in my head. The Kimya Dawson stuff does get old and makes you hate droning plain folk singers fast! Dawson really really needs to find something, anything, interesting to sing about, besides the most mondane details of life and "fu*k Bush."
Cute, like the movie July 9, 2008 I don't think these songs will stand the test of time, but they catch the feeling of kids making music, just like the good movie of Juno was fresh and young.
Great CD July 6, 2008 This is one of those "The first time you hear it you LOVE it" CD's
Juno rocks July 4, 2008 A generous helping of Indie music & some old classics-refreshing & fun!As an old rock & roller, I was delighted to be introduced to Kimya Dawson, the Moldy Peaches, etc.
Juno Soundtrack July 3, 2008 I really enjoyed this CD. I would reccomend it to anyone thinking of buying it.
