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

Great romantic comedy July 2, 2008
This is a great movie if you take it for what it is - a well made, fun to watch romantic comedy with very likeable characters.
As others have cautioned, though, teenage pregnancy is no way treated fairly in this movie. Such a story could have played out so nicely only in heaven. In real life, I can only imagine the nightmare that it is being pregnant at 16.
Its good but watch with caution June 28, 2008

Didn't know what to expect when I went into the theatre to see this, never heard of it. It was actually really good--quirky and witty dialogue. But don't watch it with impressionable kids, I mean this movie totally makes it look like a piece of cake to have a baby and give it up. She shed a few tears in the delivery room and then life went on all happily a moment later. Come on, that's not reality. And when she tells her parents she pregnant, they're only mad for like a total of 60 seconds! That's my only problem with the movie..

I actually hadn't heard of the movie at all until it came out on video, but I really liked it and have watched it twice since. I recommend it. Ellen Page is awesome.

This could be the worst movie ever.
Good production, decent soundtrack, but that's about it.
poor acting. screenplay is laughable. and the directing is lame.
I'm about halfway through...
but maybe this review isn't hitting you like the movie will. It's like the worst flippin hunk o' cheesy-arse junk possible. I'm kinda being forced to watch it. But hopefully this review will save those who are considering it...
ah... there might be a sign ... Juno might realize there's something worth more than her spoiled ignorant life...
after a little hope, it turned out to disappoint. Lame
