Great writing, acting, and a very original story that I would recommend everybody to watch. It's a movie that makes you think, laugh, cry, and wonder what is really happening in schools today. See it now!

This movie is great. It's sarcastic and hilarious. This introduced me to Ellen Page as a great leading ladie. It's awesome.

For starters the cast if made of some of my favorite actors and actresses, and it’s cool to see that Jason Bateman it’s making a comeback somehow successfully, and to boot, I have been a fan of Ellen Page ever since I saw her on “Hard Candy�…. Because of her acting skills, nothing more (yes, that should be a nice cover up).

The movie it’s a great blend with comedy, drama and of course the mandatory sentimental moments, something clearly different for a year full of cinema violence and cynical humor, J.K. Simmons showed us that not only can act, he can actually talk with a normal speed and an normal voice…

The problem I had this movie, it’s the morale, so in the end Juno found out that she was actually in love with her best friend, so it wasn’t just pity sex what lead her to this whole situation, and when you find one that loves you just like you are, you should never let go that person…. That’s a cool morale, but I think I’m one of the few that actually remembers one thing:

She’s a minor who got pregnant and gave away her baby, and in the end both her and her boyfriend go back to their previous lifetime (but as a couple) without ANY regret or consequence of what just happened, or any moral that they actually learned something form said experience..

Of course an Abortion themed movie wouldn’t have sold that good, or been on my movie list either, but the aforementioned detail makes this movie a guilty pleasure, if you just take the moral out… Curse you Diablo Cody!!! (Nah, I’m just kidding, you’re a cool writer).

Just my two cents….

Like everyone else, I agree that it was a great movie, with great characters, and lots of witty and great writing. But what stands out for me were the tender moments, moments like Juno and her father or the scenes where Michael Cera and Jennifer Garner felt the baby's kick. At the center of each of those scenes is Ellen Page, as Juno, in a truly wonderful performance.

Adding humor to a story about disfunctional family life while adding a spin to finding your soul mate. Juno is very witty and smart in her teens. Liked that they decided to "choose life". Also touches on motherhood as an obsession. Good script and acting.

  A blithe charmer balanced somewhere between a life-should-be-so-neat fairy tale and a life's-a-real-bitch tragicomedy, leaves political debate at the ticket counter and focuses solely on what it's like for Juno MacGuff to be Juno MacGuff.

  With a charismatic lead performance from Page and a plaintive score of indie-rock songs, many of them by Kimya Dawson of the Moldy Peaches, Juno seems poised to be the season's youth-culture hit.

  Not only gives us a superb new cast of believable characters, it transcends its own genre. Only superficially a teen comedy, the movie redounds with postmodern -- but emotionally genuine -- gravitas.

  Like its heroine, the film's glib - and sometimes sidesplittingly funny - patter at first diverts viewers from its poignant insights. Happily, as Juno grows in experience and maturity, so does the film.
