Product 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.

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

Unbearable
I know everyone in the universe loves this movie but I found it absolutely unbearable. The dialogue was so painfully fake and unfunny, it seems like it was lifted out of a bad TV sitcom. Every single line from every single character was some witty obnoxious quip. The whole script reeks of a clueless, outdated older person trying to write like what they think hip young kids must sound like. Juno means well and the actors did their job, but it baffles me how people can sit through this movie without puking at 95% of the lines.
Juno - Great Movie
Funny, heart warming movie about teenaged girl who "knows everything" until she gets pregnant, finds adoptive partents for her unborn child, then finds somethings out about real adult life.
JUNO
I love this movie. It was on my top 10 list of 2007. Everybody did an excellent job in this movie
Best "little" movie of 2007
When I first saw the previews for Juno, I knew it would be an Oscar nominated film, and just a hint of Ellen Page's performance made me believe she would be up for best actress, maybe even win. Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad. She didn't win, but she should have. I had seen Ellen only as the third "Kitty Pride" or Shadowcat in X-Men The Last Stand ("I'm the juggernaut.. Bitch!"). Normally as a guy well past his teens (I literally have ties older than Ellen) I would probably have avoided a movie about a pregnant teen but there is something that draws you in, besides Ellen's own charm and wit, that "Indy" charm, a quirky looking dialogue driven effort by ex-stripper turned writer Diablo Cody. Besides a stellar performance from the Halifax-born Page (another reason to adore the little cutie) is the fantastic supporting cast, Michael Cera has a certain nerdy charm as Juno's boyfriend in his day-glow orange running pants and his penchant for inhaling orange tic-tacs like some stars pop Prozac. Juno, has the best parents in the world, Alison Janney and J.K. Simmons, who played J.Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man movies and "Garth Pancake" in The Coen Brother's "Ladykillers". The couple who wants to adopt Juno's little bundle of joy are Jason Bateman (Cera's co-star from Arrested Development) and Jennifer Garner (Daredevil) who gives the performance of her career in an understated but subtlely powerful turn as the mommy wannabe. Even though I had a feeling of dread all through the movie that once all the great one-liners were exhausted that it would morph into some angst-ridden, melodrama "afterschool special of the week" I was pleasantly surprised. After a near 180 degree turn, it delivered a satisfying ending that the best of Hollywood could match. I would highly recommend this movie and I am waiting by the mailbox for the DVD to arrive, but first I have to clear out all the orange tic-tacs that someone put in there.
Juno. Greatest Indie Film Ever?
Quick answer? Yes.
This is quirky and lovable whilst remaining original and not campy.
Ellen Page is a fantastic actress years beyond her age. She manages to act adult and cute at the same time.
Michael Cera is also a fantastic addition to the film, adding awkwardness in place of suave debonair traditionally found in a leader male role.
Easily one of the best movies of 2007, complete with it's own (insatiable) indie score.
See this movie.
