the only thing The Academy™ ever did right was give juno (2007) an oscar for best original screenplay
Review by ScreeningNotes ★★ 9

Romantic comedies are like ice cream. Some people will eat it any time, anywhere, any flavor, any brand, and some people will only eat it when they have an opportunity to enjoy the good stuff. I only eat ice cream when I know it's going to be high quality because it's such an indulgent experience.

When Juno came out it was like a whole new flavor of ice cream a lot of people had never tasted before. Combine its indie sensibilities and straightforward structure with a little of that Ellen Page magic and you've got a flavor that appeals to a wide audience. But cynical old codger that I am, to me ice cream is still just ice cream whether…

Thanks for having me and my irresponsible child over your house.

It's not cool to like Juno or anything to do with Diablo Cody I don't think, but fuck it, I still like this movie a lot. And fuck it again, I also like Ellen Page. I'm not sure Jason Reitman made the movie Diablo Cody wrote exactly, or I might just see the film differently then I'm supposed to. I'm not sure.

Juno MacGuff (Ellan Page) is a 16 year old that is always "on", putting on an act for her friends, family and even strangers. She seems to pride herself on thinking that she is the quirkiest person in the room and that nothing can phase…

Review by TajLV ★★½ 9

Such a disappointment. Diablo Cody won an Oscar for this screenplay, and I'm like "What?!?!" I thought the dialog was smart-ass going on pretentious. I did not like the goofy acoustic guitar soundtrack at all, either. Thank goodness for some fine acting by Ellen Page as the pregnant 16-year-old Juno Macguff, J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney as her parents, and Jason Bateman as prospective adoptive father Mark Loring. However, I got really irked by how badly Jennifer Garner's character Vanessa Loring is treated, and Michael Cera as boyfriend Paulie Bleeker is a total case of "the lights are on but nobody's home." What in the world is it that people like so much about this film? Yeowch!

got a bunch of DVDs from the village today and pulled this one out first what a great start to the film haul :) this was so adorable, I wasn't in the mood for anything too dramatic or intense so this was definitely a good choice the music was so soft and chill and I'm now nicely sleepy and ready to nod off thank u Juno for serving me some soft mashed potatoes in a huge bowl with one spoon while I sat under the stars and cried just a small bit not too much (also gonna start a tag for films with nice soundtracks hope I don't neglect it)

michael cera is awkwardly cute
Review by Ben Rendich ★★★★

The final scenes in the hospital are among the most moving I have seen in any film. Every time, I cry when Michael Cerra joins Ellen Page in the hospital - and then I cry even more when Jennifer Garner holds her baby for the first time and he opens his eyes.

If you're still in,

I'm still in.

Review by ben ★★★★

i secretly watched this movie on my dad's tiny ass ipod back when i was like 8 or 9 and i'm surprised i even understood the entire movie and remember so much of it to this day.

also i have yet to admit to my parents that i watched this at a young age bc little 8/9 year old me was convinced i was gonna get in trouble.
Review by ChristinaNoir ★★★★

This film adorable and quirky. It's only downfall is applying an overly witty dialect that sometimes distracts from the story line.

Review by kattahj ★★★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I'm even more in love with Ellen Page that I was before, and that's saying a lot, because I thought I was as in love as I could be after ReGenesis, and then I saw Hard Candy and loved her more (while being seriously skeeved out by her character), and now I'm so very much in love I can't express it. It's good to know that while the male talents of Hollywood are busy dying, the female talents are building up. (Seriously, when the GG nominees for best actress in a comedy or musical are "four people I love and one I haven't seen", that's promising.) She was so great - she managed to sell Juno's immaturity and brattiness while…
Review by hickjose ★★★½

Despite its obvious flaws, I have a MAJOR soft spot for this movie, which blew me away with how different it was in tone to other films I'd seen when I was 13. I'll admit Juno herself has started to annoy me given I've watched this film about 4 times. That said, I like the quirky, silly dialogue that has dated so poorly, and of course J.K. Simmons was excellent.
Review by Henrik ★★★½

At times a little too cutesy, but well acted and well put together — and short! The few bits that didn’t work for me were mercifully swift. Overall, pretty good.
