Strictly average movie

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

this is one pop culture touchstone that has aged super well. i can't believe this came out 10 years ago, because it feels as relevant and funny as it did when it first hit screens in 2007. Diablo Cody's writing mingles perfectly with Jason Reitman's soft handed direction and this remains the high water mark for both creatives. acting is great across the board. if you've been dodging this particular piece of americana, now is the perfect time to give it a watch.

When Juno, a single and pregnant teenager, announces that she is "losing faith in humanity," her long-suffering father asks if she can narrow it down a little. This scene, as serious and poignant as it is funny and charming, provides a glimpse of the tone and tenor of the film throughout. Everyone, even a convenience store clerk, has something snarky to say. Tense situations are disarmed by humor and sympathy.Juno is obviously not ready to be a mother, yet she handles her situation with inherent panache and a curious blend of independence, optimism, sarcasm and diligence. In searching for a well-off and decent couple who will provide a good home for her baby, Juno displays more maturity than most adults. The childish antics of her elders and the serious nature of her situation cause Juno to do some serious soul searching along with attempting to discover someone who loves her for who she really is.Ten years after the release of Juno and it is still original, cute and exceedingly snarky. The untraditional plot and dialogue are refreshing. Ellen Page (Juno) carries not only a baby, but the film as well. She is a natural for such a role and perfectly cast. Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Allison Janney and J.K. Simmons are wonderful in their supporting roles. I wonder how much their future success depended on their roles here? Depth and nuance (beyond being snarky), however, are lacking. There should be plain English subtitles for the language of other generations, young and old (ha, ha)! Maybe the wait is another ten years for such an app.

I loved it! This is how all teenage pregnancies should be handled, if I had my say in this world. The parents played their part very well. The young man who got her pregnant played his part very well. The movie was well put together. Good job directors! Watch it and judge for yourself. It's truly a wonderful gem!

Let me begin by saying that this review will be very intense as my point of view on this subject and the film is strident and represents my personal attitudes. That said I will not be vulgar or obscene. In truth I shall be "high brow" and exacting in my remarks. If my beliefs upset the "thought police" at this site and do not publish this review I know it will be because IMDb believes in "CENSORSHIP" that does not fit their political agendas. Finally, my remarks will undoubtedly alienate those on the "right" as well as those on the "left" but I still have first amendment rights and as such I intend use them. I shall now begin. In my opinion this movie celebrates a major problem in this country; TEEN PREGNANCY. These two neophytes who engaged in sexual relations should be PUNISHED for the act they committed. Yes, I said PUNISHED!!!!!! The boy should not be allowed to have another child ever again!!!! He should be forced to have a vasectomy for his cavalier actions. He has taken a step that ultimately brought a child into the world even though he knows full well that his actions could and did result in Juno's becoming pregnant. Was he asleep during"sex ed" curriculum. A subject which by the way is mandated in most public high schools in the USA. His "duh I am in love intimacy" is his own self indictment. As for her she really is not much better and should have (assuming she is as sophisticated as the film portrays her) restrained her physical, nevertheless immature juvenile animal sexual urges. In my opinion she should have opted for the abortion!!! Yes, I know we were treated to a "happy ending" but in 99 and 44/100% of these cases "happy endings" are simply fairy tales and do not come true. Thus the child becomes A DRAIN ON MY TAX DOLLARS AND SOCIETY.!!!!! You read correctly: A DRAIN ON MY TAX DOLLARS!!!! Most unwanted pregnancies end with the child becoming "WARDS OF THE STATE" and not the responsibility of the parents. This is poppycock and boulderdash and I do not want to shell out my hard earned money for so called unavoidable "youthful indiscretions"!!!!!!! I would like this movie to have taken place in "THE HOOD" as opposed to white middle class Minnesota. Now that would truly be a reality check regarding teen pregnancy!!!! Catch my drift!!!
