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

Juno August 3, 2008
James L. Murray (Los Angeles)
What is a teenager to do when she finds herself pregnant and unmarried? Ellen Page solves this problem in a masterful way in this well acted comedy. Great supporting cast.
 Has issues August 2, 2008
B. Bates (Santa Fe, NM USA)
Tends to glamorize teen pregnancy and make it seem "fun" and easy to get rid of.
 This is fresher than orange tic-tacs!!!!!!! July 31, 2008

Ellen Page does a stand up stand out job as Juno. Man I love this type of humour it kind of reminds me of Ellen Muth in the Dead Like Me series. Its not fall out of your seat slapstick comedy, its way more tounge in cheek but I tend to like that style of comedy. Its is well written and the dialouge is fantastic. Great movie, great cast, watch this movie.
GOOD MOVIE July 27, 2008
Pamela A. Poddany (Toledo, Ohio)
JUNO
I always seem to catch movies after they are done being super popular -- but this movie always will be popular, as it is well done and very good. Loved the acting. Ellen Page was super; she is cute, and her character was funny, quirky, and different. She knew she was different and it didn't bother her.
The acting of Allison Janney and J. K. Simmons as Juno's parents was superb. They were also funny, supportive, and when told Juno is pregnant, they were really calm!!! Too calm? Had my young daughter come to me and told me she was pregnant, I would not have handled it as calmly and well as the MacGuff's did. Perhaps they are better people than I am? Anyway, I would have totally supported my daughter and been there for her every step of the way -- however, I KNOW I would have totally freaked out when told the news. Maybe that is just me --
What I didn't enjoy about the movie was how Juno -- at first -- seemed uneffected by being pregnant. How she referred to the baby as IT -- how she seemed to have no restrictions in her young life.
What I liked about the movie was how, after a while, Juno wanted to find the PERFECT and RIGHT family for her baby. I liked how Juno could not get an abortion. I liked how her family stood by her and were there for her. I liked that Juno cried after she gave birth and gave the baby up.
I would think this movie does not sensationalize getting pregnant young. I think this movie was entertaining and full of good points; showing young girls that being pregnant and having a child is a huge commitment; one they need to be ready for. Juno did show this and was also entertaining and had some good family values. Being there for each other is so important, right?
I would recommend JUNO and am glad that I FINALLY sat down and watched it! Ellen Page is one good actress and I hope we see more of her.
Thank you!

Ellen Page Makes "Juno" a Great Film July 27, 2008

Ellen Page plays Juno MacGuff, a teenager who becomes pregnant by her high school boyfriend whom she reluctantly denies that she loves. Juno is faced with the task of trying to decide whether to have an abortion or give her unborn child up for adoption. But ends up deciding to give up her baby for adoption and goes about finding the perfect parents to adopt her unborn child.
Juno Macguff isn't your average teenage beauty involved in sports, cheerleading & so on... She's into music and is funny in a dry/witty/dark humor kind of way.... Ellen Page plays the character perfectly and is in fact, the best actor in the movie! I think Ellen Page will remain on the acting scene for a long time with her talent.
Anyway, "Juno" is definitely a different sort of coming of age story and a good one at that.
