When a teenage girl is faced with an unexpected pregnancy, she enlists the aid of her best friend in finding the unborn child a suitable home in this coming-of-age comedy drama from Thank You for Smoking director Jason Reitman. Juno (Ellen Page) may seem wise beyond her years, but after sleeping with classmate Bleeker (Michael Cera), the pregnant teen quickly realizes how little she really knows about life. Thankfully, Juno has been blessed with parents (J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney) who trust their daughter's judgment, and a best friend named Leah (Olivia Thirlby), who's always willing to help out in a pinch. With a little help from Leah, Juno soon comes into contact with Mark (Jason Bateman) and Vanessa (Jennifer Garner) -- an affluent suburban couple who have been unable to conceive a child of their own. Mark and Vanessa seem like they would make great parents, and are eager to adopt Juno's unborn child. Now, as adolescent Juno is faced with a series of very adult decisions, she will draw on the support of her family and friends in order to discover who she truly is, and discover that one bad choice can have a lifetime of consequences. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Upon reading the other reviewers, I guess you either love it or hate it. I thought the script was witty and cleverly written. Had me laughing though much of it, though sometimes Juno's character was so "witty and articulate" for a teenager it was beyond unrealistic. I really enjoyed this flick, but I'll have to kinda agree with the other parent-reviewers --does seem to make light of teen pregnancy and makes it seem easy and even fun to be a preggie teen. Juno is the heroine, after all. So just make sure you don't make this an example for your kids to follow. The film is not meant to glorify teen pregnancy as if life goes on as normal ever after.

    This was an entertaining movie. Some people have taken it a bit seiously in my opinion by saying that it is a message about teen pragnancy, that it is unrealistic, etc. I really think that it was just made for entertainment and was not meant to be taken as a "normal" situation or leave any lasting impressions, positive or negative, on teen pregnancy. Just rent, watch, and enjoy!

    The delightful Juno is full of incite and is wonderfully writtern.I wish that every teenager could see and discuss Juno. Seeing that there are consequences to actions that at the time seem exciting might make for fewer teen pregnancies!
