Annoying and generic. - By: genejoke, 02 Sep 2008 
The makers of Juno seem determined to make it quirky & different & have made the same rubbish as numerous other so called independent movies. The music is a love it or hate it thing. I didn't like it. The dialogue is terrible, no one talks like thatm well a few people but not all the time. The onlt likeable character was the kid that fathered said sprog. he actually comes off as sweet & likable.
a good film about the dilemmas facing teenage mothers - By: dan the fan, 20 Aug 2008 
The dialoguein Juno was a bit unbelievable at times with teenagers talking so learnedly & confidently that it was hard to imagine they were teenagers finding their wayin the world.Ellen Page - who played Juno - putin a very engaging & 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 & 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 & sensible with good family valuesin it & a strong sense of morality, as well as having a nice little love story thrown in.
A pregnant pause... - By: M. Adil-smith, 18 Aug 2008 
Juno was is pretty good, & is about a 16 year old girl getting pregnant & 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, & 16 yr old Juno is far too sassy, & her parents far too supportive.
If you like Garden State, then give this a try.
Juno, the freshest film going! - By: Mutian, 18 Aug 2008 
Ellen Page plays the quirky teenager Junoin 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 & it ends up being an emotional rollercoaster with lots of laughs along the way. The film cleverly addresses the issues of abortion & 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 & Barry Louis Polisar.
-It delivers laughs & moments of sadness without being cheesy & also sends good messages for a young target audience
-It's not a chick flick
I would recommend it to anyone & 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 - By: K. A. Dearness, 17 Aug 2008 Initially I thought 'oh no, another piece of artsy fartsy tat', but then I got into it & started to appreciate the characters & their complimentary family structure, & the fact that her parents are accepting & supportive of her desicions. Everyone here has some depth to them yet very little actual detail is given, or needed. It's very good & worth buying, so stick itin your basket now!
