Editorial Review: 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. 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 Get to Know Juno's Cast

![]() Rating: - Remarkably Well-Written and Warm ComedyI wanted to hate Juno so bad. I suppose all of the trendy dialogue and often unnecessary indie credibility made me want to target this as among the most overrated film of 2007. In retrospect I hate when I have preconceptions going into a film but at least here I can admit its impact. Juno isn't overrated at all and although the dialogue is still hard to believe in flashes; the characters were compelling, enjoyable, and very easy to like. It was a simple task to forgive the few flaws I expected ...

Michael Cera has become such a huge star,I never thought after seeing him on "Arrested Development"I would hear from him again,even though I was a fan of the show,and its great to have Jason Bateman also in the movie who does a great job . ...

"No, it's MORGAN FREEMAN got any bones that need collecting" brilliant, even oscar worhthy...........it did win for best screenplay come to think of it. Diablo Cody's screenplay snap, crackles and pops with vibrant colorful euporhic uba-slang such as WIZARD, WHAT THE BLOG?, and HOMEOSKILLET MY DARLIN JIM DIDIT WODUNNIT POPASQUASH SUMMIT? My fave scene's when our prego hero is somehow ... Read More Rating: - I, LIKE, Lasted Ten MinutesLIKE the worst movie ever! LIKE Juno answers with LIKE a dissertation (whatever that is) whenever LIKE her lame, weak parents LIKE ask her a simple question. And LIKE Juno can't go several words before she LIKE has to use the word LIKE out of context ( LIKE whatever that is.) Puh-lease! LIKE no human being LIKE talks LIKE that! I so wanted to punch her in the mouth and SHUT HER UP I had to change to another channel! More Hollywood anti-parenting, anti-values, anti-self-control dreck! Rating: - CharmingJuno is the story of a young girl who accidentally becomes pregnant in high school. Her demeanor is funny, her attitude is positive. There are charming jokes all the way through, and the teenage girl never ceases to do something shocking. I however did not like the manner in which she was portrayed in relationship to a male role model in the film. The couple that has come forward to adopt the unborn child has issues of their own, and Juno, unfortunately, becomes placed in the middle of ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
