Juno is a 16-year old know-it-all who just got pregnant and… doesn’t really know anything. Looking for a good couple to adopt her future child, she meets Venessa and Mark, who can’t have children of their own. The couple seems to be perfect, but maybe that’s just on the surface. | ||||||||

It's always good to see a movie, where the only special effect is sketched texts, manages to impress you in the theatre. The story is told in chapters, just like 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring', but that's about the every similarity there is between the two.
The story about this girl getting pregnant is brought very much in the view of a teenager. And by that I don't mean the view that Hollywood has of teenagers. It's certainly not brought as a teen pregnancy doom movie, but in funny and lighthearted way without taking out the seriousness of the subject. A subtle and small movie with its accents at the right place. | ||||||||

I thought Juno was great! Ellen Page did a fantastic job!
I’ve been hearing about this movie but haven’t watched it. After seeing this trailer I think I might have to.

It’s definitly worth the popcorn. My favorite character although in the movie is actually Juno’s friend. Not that Ellen Page is not really good, I just liked the other character bettter.
liked ellen page in this surely worth an oscar performance. liked jennifer in the movie too…… this is the only movie which handles the matter in very matured way
This is my favourite film of 2007 without a doubt, there was nothing wrong with it at all. The best indie comedy I have ever seen.
