Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com 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 Product Description When a sixteen-year-old is faced with an unplanned pregnancy, she sets out to find adoptive parents for her baby.

Young (Hawai'i) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Good Music, good actors, even some good snotty remarks. 1 star to counter all the people who weren't really paying attention Juno stomps thru this movie like some alterna-Disney princess. She does whatever she wants, says whatever she wants and no one really stands in her way(her step-mother offers the only resistance, however limply). Juno's a rotten little twit. What I really didn't like was the ominous feeling that the film was going to try to turn around and give her a sympathetic makeover. Sure enough. After spending most of the film being rude to everyone and getting her way she can't handle it when one of the other characters finally peels himself off the background and does something she doesn't like. Now she's fragile and emotional...doesn't stop her from continuing being rude though. The only sweet moments are when Juno's mouth is shut and the soundtrack comes to the front. It felt really manipulative having such upbeat music in a movie about such a jerk. The mailbox full 'o Tic Tacs was pure insulting treacle. She treats Michael Cera's character like a cure for boredom(essentially how she got pregnant), then as an insignificant nuisance up until she the wants him back. That's where the Tic Tacs come in. Aww, she really does love him and he goes for it. Tic Tacs? If any candy fits him it's a Sucker! The biggest insult came at the end in the hospital after she's given birth. The dad says to her 'Someday you'll be back here again, but on your terms.' Sorry, who's terms were the previous 90 or so minutes devoted to? It might have been the right 'tender moment dialog' but it totally ignores the facts. Unbelievable and Slightly Over Rated August 7, 2010 Amanda L. Davis (Adrian,MI USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful I thought the dialog in this movie was very contrived. Teenagers do not talk like this. I also thought that the character of Juno portrayed teen pregnancy in a very offhand way and didn't give it the seriousness it deserves. I also thought her character was annoying. An underage slut gets knocked up by the town fool August 5, 2010 N. Sanchez (georgia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful A tender story that reflects the spiteful and mindless antics of a disfunctional underage shrew that bullies everyone around her including the passive moron that knocks her up!! To add insult to injury, she is called the mother of the gods??!?!? So the gods are bastards and illegitemate accidents of impulsive sexual acts by white trash? And what about the made up name of the supposed writer of this vomit? Diablo Cody?????!?! How original, we know what video game you played. It actually sounds like a bad aspirin brand! Juno - goddess of marriage and childbirth? July 15, 2010 Steven Mason (California) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful The people who like Juno outnumber those who don't 3 to 1. I'm in the minority. At times it's cute and amusing, and the acting is good. It's a quirky story filled with quirky characters, but even with all the quirks it is neither complex nor endearing. Juno is a preternaturally intelligent, precocious, attractive 16-year-old teen who makes up her own rules. Apparently no one can control or even influence her, not her tough, gruff father, not her tough, gruff step-mother, not her school, not her best friend or her boyfriend. But before too long we discover that Juno cares too much, that her rude, tough, pushy, arrogant, disdainful, manipulative exterior is masking a real softie inside. How original is that? To mix things up a bit, in a transparent effort to make up something "original" about the story, Juno decides one day to have sex with her boyfriend. Keep in mind that the most endearing quality about the boyfriend is that he is a totally passive pushover and is easily manipulated by Juno. It is Juno's idea to have sex, and when Juno says she wants sex, the boyfriend, Bleeker, has little say in the matter. Appropriately enough, the seminal act, as it were, is concluded not by smoking cigarettes, but by eating Tic Tacs (one of the many quirks of the film). Of course it was unprotected sex, because as I said, Juno makes up her own rules. Juno gets pregnant and she decides to give the baby to a set of parents of her own personal choosing. Juno's father helps her with the interviews, apparently accustomed to letting his daughter have her way. Juno quickly finds the perfect couple, and she can't wait to dump the unwanted baby on them, almost as if she has found a family to take a pet dog she's had for a month and now has grown bored with. Throughout the pregnancy, Juno continues to be the rude, rule-breaking person she's always been, though here and there we see glimpses of her softer side. She mostly ignores her boyfriend, who never really was a boyfriend anyway. The rest of the story is quite boring, the end is quite silly. But the movie is too earnest to be a comedy, though I have no idea what it is being earnest about. I don't think it's necessary to say more, except that, in the end, after the baby has been given away, Juno inexplicably decides that she, at 16, is suddenly in love with Bleeker, and no one is more surprised than Bleeker himself. It seems that even though Juno prefers to make up her own rules and break everyone else's, there is, after all, one rule that she would like to believe in: the rule of happily ever after. And if that doesn't make sense after what I've described before, it's not supposed to. :-) For those of you looking for a good, earnest, quirky movie about first love, I would suggest The Sterile Cuckoo with Liza Minnelli. It's an old movie (1969) and may be hard to find. The novel by John Nichols is good, too. Bizarre. July 9, 2010 Renfield (Edmonton, Canada) Back in 08, when the movie came out on DVD, there was a huge buzz about it winning best screenplay and, so I decided I should check it out. The movie is about a 16 year old girl named Juno MacGuff. I'm not kidding. I'm serious. Throughout the movie I tried to pretend that name wasn't the most pretentious female protagonist name I've ever heard but I failed. She talks like a real smartass and acts all cocky to people. She's 16 and is in love with Paulie Bleeker (again, another pretentious "indie" name). One day she finds out that she got pregnant from a time when she and Paulie had sex. She considers having an abortion, but after being forced to face the fact that once you make a decision it stays with you forever, she decides to come out about her pregnancy to her parents and give it up for adoption. She finds one family in a classified ad who has an infertile mother and goes to get to know them. She takes a keen kinship to the husband, who loves indie music and cinema, including one situation where they watch the 70s cheese horror flick "The Wizard of Gore". Then a bunch of drama and depressing indie pretentiousness ensues and... I... just... don't... freaking... care. The end. I didn't HATE this film. Some lines were funny and I liked some of the cast, including the guy who played Jameson from Spider Man, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman, who of course charms in each role. One particularly powerful scene was when Juno has an emotional breakdown in the van- Finally she acts instead of trying to be a teenager and spewing cocky words. To say the characters are cardboard is an understatement- they're TISSUE PAPER THIN. Juno is not likable at all. Why should I sympathize for her? She's just a smartassed cocky borderlining-on-bitch who has absolutely no reason to be in the story other than the fact that she's the protagonist and she's pregnant. And her constant pop culture references were don't help either. Paulie I have no respect for- come on, getting a girl knocked up before she's even old enough to drive has no respectability in it, and the movie tries to make me care about him by making him all "cute" and "awkward" but come on. Also, this film in a way almost glamorizes teen pregnancy- Their parents are cool with her being pregnant AT 16 (I've known people in this situation and trust me, their parents were the exact opposite of that). There's much more but it would be too long to list. Oh and for the record, I don't think I've EVER heard anyone say "Pork swords". I don't even think creepy looking assassins with stupid haircuts and silenced shotguns could have saved this film. It's not terrible but I honestly don't get why it's so praised.
