"3.98 ...Great Performance by Ellen Page.... Brilliant Writing! Direction! Charming! Witty! .. .Worth a watch! "
- Phoenix, gave it a 4/5
"A fantastic screenplay full of one-liners from spot-on 21st century teens and Gen Xers, add an absolutely perfect cast, and get a hilarious, surprising love story. But only 4.879 stars, since sadly almost all the deleted scenes should been left but the director is one of those "all movies must be 90 minutes" but the 15 minutes cut all would have filled the movie out or had great jokes."
- WinkJunior, gave it a 5/5
"Good Movie! "
- smallville, gave it a 5/5
"Unique feel-good comedy from one of my favorite up and coming directors! (although I personally think Thank You for Smoking was way better)"
- projecthurley, gave it a 4/5
"Cute:-) "

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 - Amazon.com
