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!

my absolute favourite part of this film is the bit where bleaker puts the hot pocket in the microwave just as the kinks sing "and he's oh so healthy in his body and his mind" like this soundtrack is so well thought out it actually makes me want to die

This is where my love for Jason Bateman began.
Review by Lauren Chilcott ★★★★½

I love this movie, I can watch this over and over again, it’s just so heartwarming and sweet. I’m a big Ellen page fan and she is fantastic in this as is the rest of the cast. Superb writing and a great unique soundtrack make this movie, Yes the teenage pregnancy part is far from realistic but it isn’t meant to be a true life film.

I know it’s cool to hate this movie and everything but fuck that.

Review by JonOS ★★★★★

"Juno? Is that you?"
"No, its Morgan Freeman."

Could be my favourite movie ever (except for Star Wars). Reitman knew what his boundaries were here and works in them with the confidence of an experienced director even though it's his second film. The dialogue is top notch and the casting is perfect with virtually every actor standing out when on screen.

Review by TDotRome ★★★★

Watched it again, recently, because I bought it. Still great. Page delivers Cody's script perfectly. Absolutely great dialogue. Well performed and directed. So much more "real" than what's expected of teenage pregancy.........everybody's freakin out! I remember the girls who were pregnant at my high school. Sure, there was a little gossip, but mostly people were just curious and adult about it. Like in Juno.
