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

Description
Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) is a cool, confident teenager who takes a nine-month detour into adulthood when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy-and sets out to find the perfect parents for her baby. With the help of her charmingly unassuming boyfriend (Michael Cera), supportive dad (J.K Simmons) and no-nonsense stepmom (Allison Janney), Juno sets her sights on an affluent couple (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) longing to adopt their first child.

Simply Awesome May 15, 2008
I purchased this movie to watch with my teenage daughter. Thought it would be a humorous way of introducing a topic that is actually not so humorous. It was witty, funny, sad all rolled up into one film. I would definitely recommend watching it.

This is probably one of the best movies I have ever seen. Juno is funny, and has the Super Bad type of comedy, but is also deeper and has a better plot. Juno gets pregnant by Paulie Bleeker, and can't go through with an abortion. She picks a couple to adopt her baby, and just wants a good life for her baby. It is never a question of whether she would keep her baby, she always wants to give it up for adoption. Bleeker, meanwhile, loves Juno and you see the trials of their relationship throughout the movie. She seems to be the one more scared of commitment. The adoptive parents are obviously not happily married, so the ending has a surprising twist that you don't expect, but realize it's the best way for the movie to go. The movie has a great ending that is heartfelt and will have the viewer satisfied. I highly recommend this movie.

I can't believe this was written by a woman. The dialogue is totally unbelievable, abortion clinics are horribly portrayed, and Ellen Page is totally unrealistic. She cries once. And takes pregnancy tests in public, discussing them in an offhand manner with the convenience store clerk. I found it insulting. Allison Janney is awesome, and so is Jennifer Garner, but those are the only likeable characters. Well, and Michael Cera, of course.

When a fine screenplay is written and actors come together and hit all the right notes, bringing it to life, you get something like JUNO. A rarity, too often, in todays cinema.
Nothing pretentious, or you might think preachy, about a young high school girl that reluctantly comes to the realization that she's pregant and goes through the gamant of feelings about what to do, all the while trying to maintain her confident, sarcastic attitude like nothing is bothering her.
JUNO is real life and charm and you watch the film, forgetting that you're watching a film. You feel as though you're seeing yourselves or your neighbors living their lives.
JUNO is written with tremendous wit and heart. The actors involved should all be commended and they will be rewarded with a film that will live on for ages. I've seen Michael Clayton, There Will be Blood & No Country for Old Men and without question, JUNO has been the movie that has made the biggest impact on society and will be watched 10 years from now.
Then you throw in a killer soundtrack and people everywhere singing, "Anyone Else but You". Everything about JUNO is priceless.
