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

Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Sweet.
I thought Juno was a sweet film. The movie tells the story of Juno (played exquisitely by Ellen Page), a 16-year-old girl who gets pregnant. At first, Juno tries to arrange a "hasty abortion," but she finds that she can't go through with it. Then, deciding to give the baby up for adoption, she looks through a local Penny Saver and finds the perfect couple in search of a baby - Vanessa (Jennifer Garner in a pitch-perfect, heartbreaking turn) and Mark (Jason Bateman, dead-on as always).

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Surprisingly fresh and tender treatment of teen pregnancy
I didn't want to write "treatment of teen pregnancy" because that makes it seem like a sociological treatiseand this is definitely not that. What makes this film so good is that it is fresh, like life, and doesn't attempt to preach about anything. Yes, a teenage girl gets pregnant accidentally and the story is about what she does about it. I liked the unexpected turns the film takes.I liked the way most of the characters are portrayed as humans, with good and not-so-good qualities.The dad is ... Read More

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - disturbing portrait of an anti-social narcicisstic sociopath
yikes. talk about a film with all talk and no heart. the self-dubbed pussy-ranch blogging, internet-addicted, man-hating, ex-sex industry worker "diablo cody" has crafted a humorous though soulless hipster fantasy that could conviently also play on ABC family at a moment's notice, thanks to it's tacit dismissal of abortion as a realistic alternative to an unplanned , unwanted pregancy and ludicrously picture-perfect portrait of familial approval of such a decision and female single-parent adoption. ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Funny in an Artsy Kind of Way
Juno is going to be a movie that some people will tell you that they love while others will hate it. Juno is quirky take on teenage pregnancy. It is also a story of a complex young lady who make a tough but mature decision regarding her baby and how it will be brought into the world.

Personally, I enjoyed Juno - it is a smart, funny and original. Parts move a little slow (and while for the most part it is original) and at times predictable. What is consistent is that Ellen Page is outstanding ... Read More
