Amazon.co.uk Review
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 stylised 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

 a good film about the dilemmas facing teenage mothers August 20, 2008
dan the fan (england,uk)
The dialogue in Juno was a bit unbelievable at times with teenagers talking so learnedly and confidently that it was hard to imagine they were teenagers finding their way in the world.Ellen Page - who played Juno - put in a very engaging and cativating performance as a pregnant 16 year old who wants to give her baby up for adoption.I didn't like the soundtrack to the film - the songs were either by simon and garfunkel or were a poor attempt to imitate them.But overall I would recommend this film to you if you want to see something
humorous and sensible with good family values in it and a strong sense of morality, as well as having a nice little love story thrown in.
 A pregnant pause... August 18, 2008
M. Adil-smith (london)
Juno was is pretty good, and is about a 16 year old girl getting pregnant and giving the baby up for adoption. The story is quite warm, often funny. An all round good indie film with a great alternative acoustic sound tracker.
But throughout the film, no-one seems to take the pregnancy seriously, and 16 yr old Juno is far too sassy, and her parents far too supportive.
If you like Garden State, then give this a try.
 Juno, the freshest film going! August 18, 2008

Ellen Page plays the quirky teenager Juno in this hip drama/comedy. She leads an incredibly strong cast (Michael Cera, Allison Janney, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman & J.K. Simmons) through the 9 months of her pregnancy when she then plans to give the baby up for adoption to the seemingly perfect parents, Garner & Bateman, however, not all goes as planned and it ends up being an emotional rollercoaster with lots of laughs along the way. The film cleverly addresses the issues of abortion and teenage pregnancy without giving the message that teen pregnancy is easy. The feeling of the film echoes that of Little Miss Sunshine but both are completely different stories.
-The actors are superb (Never before have I seen such an ensemble that delivers the whole script so realistically)
-The script is unbelievably original (Written by Diablo Cody, Academy Award Winner for this film!)
-The soundtrack is better than on any other film I have seen (apart from musicals) featuring songs from The Moldy Peaches, Kimya Dawson, The Kinks, Antsy Pants and Barry Louis Polisar.
-It delivers laughs and moments of sadness without being cheesy and also sends good messages for a young target audience
-It's not a chick flick
I would recommend it to anyone and everyone looking for something to cheer them up or make them smile! Buy it!
I was bored, I tittered, I cringed, I cried. And cried. And cried August 17, 2008

Initially I thought 'oh no, another piece of artsy fartsy tat', but then I got into it and started to appreciate the characters and their complimentary family structure, and the fact that her parents are accepting and supportive of her desicions. Everyone here has some depth to them yet very little actual detail is given, or needed. It's very good and worth buying, so stick it in your basket now!
Worth watching once but overrated August 15, 2008

I wanted to watch this from the moment i saw the trailer but i never got to watch it at the cinema and so i bought the Dvd.I was really set to watch something fantastic and it was a decent film with some good acting and humour and a quirky script, but i felt a bit let down as it didn't live up to the hype, it wasn't amazing, just good and i probably won't watch it again for at least a year. I would still say give it a go though, especially if you liked little miss sunshine.
