Getting preggers at a very young age is apparently ok if you're into cool things.
11	BeeDub	72 _22nd
Holy hell. I want to punch this movie in its insufferably obnoxious smug hipster face. Screw the Oscars for giving this overwritten tripe Best Screenplay.
10	theficionado	25 _20th
Ultimately off-putting. The pregnancy is the means to its end: Michael Cera and Ellen Page serenading each other in front of a suburban lot, neither experiencing a modicum of doubt, regret or sadness. Hey, teen pregnancy isn't so bad after all, home skillet.
10	brandt64	50 _23rd
There's barely a second that goes by where this self-indulgent film doesn't nag you with its numerous pop-culture references, "quirky" props, pseudo-witty teenage lingo, or the blaring-loud indie acoustic soundtrack. You can almost visualize the producers jerking eachother off as they think of more "hip" gimmicks to pile on to the already-overflowing heap of pretentiousness. Worst of all is the character of Juno herself - she's smug, condescending, annoying, and unlikable. What a load of crap.
9	Skenkere	80 _85th
The first ten minutes worried me because the dialogue was way too forcedly "hip" and quirky. But it gets toned down as it goes, and most of it is really funny, and there are some hilariously memorable lines. Ellen Page is really damn good at pulling off a character that could otherwise be unlikeable, and I don't think I've ever seen Michael Cera deliver a line badly. My only problem with the movie is that it's entirely too in love with its own "indie" soundtrack. Other than that, great stuff
9	Barthalen	41 _21st
This movie was written by a partially sentient PlotWrite-a-tron 4000 that saw two episodes of Gilmore Girls, mistakenly thought that is how real people actually communicated, and then spat out some bland story about babies with some added NOT FORCED INDIE QUIRKINESS. Atrocious lines being delivered by snarky people, huzzah. Thanks but no thanks. Or, in Juno language; total no thankerino, like, zippo nada-dude.
7	anderton	60 _44th
ahahaha THIRTY POINTS OFF CRITICKER I'VE BESTED YOU ONCE AGAIN.
6	LennyNero	25 _14th
Nothing special at all. Tries to be too hip and the main character is just a brat who thinks she knows everything.
5	aethewulf	78 _65th
I liked it, wasn't expected. Juno is some kind of annoying character but the end was cool. Feel good movie. Ellen Page's acting and soundtrack are great.
5	juntakinte99	100 _97th
Your enjoyment will depend on how much you dig the fantastical approach. Reitman & Cody create a narrative that does as much as humanly possible to avoid the real world choices that many young women in Juno's shoes would go through. Which, in turn, makes this a film so conservative and out of touch that it wound up being one of Sarah Palin's favorite movies. Still if you excuse the fairy tale, and just go for the ride, you could be entertained by the constant zingers.
4	Magb	65 _30th
In this wretched world where people talk like bad Pitchfork reviews and twee indie pop bookends every scene, I find myself both charmed and irritated. It's hard to feel antipathy against the superficial elements of the film -- namely the cute, stupid story and the endearing, aggravating characters. However, as soon as you start thinking a bit deeper about what you've just seen the film starts to fall apart. The film clearly trivializes teen pregnancy.
4	jswinder	60 _27th
Pitifully overrated. The ponderous rave reviews this movie received are beyond explanation and reason. I thought it was a cute little movie, and nothing more. Not particularly necessary. The form and content left much to be desired and the puppy love romance in the midst of a teen pregnancy was a bit sickening. The script went way overboard and desperately claws and scratches at a chance of capturing the lingo of a little annoying and unlikable 13 year old knock up. Cheap shot at originality.
4	JordanDcFc	87 _85th
What can be said about Juno? Forced dialogue, twee songs a plenty and a typically indie cast? Probably, but it's also a very funny and moving story about a girl who takes 'the other route' when it comes to teenage pregnancy. Page is wonderful (again) and Cera does his usual awkward, geeky teenager routine. The rest of the cast are just as good and the music fits in perfectly with the image of the film. Very well done indie flick in my opinion.
4	eCitizen	95 _99th
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this quirky quick witted teenage girl (Ellen Page) handle her unplanned pregnancy. Jason Bateman was great as the husband and older friend, but I was disappointed to see him develop a crush for her and flake out. Michael Cera is good at playing the clueless teenager. Jennifer Garner was adequate. J.K. Simmons was awesome as the understanding dad. Ellen Page stole the show, and I was left wanting to see more of her and the Juno character.
3	cambel	85 _87th
Delightful, cute and weird. One of the coolest scripts of the year. Ellen Page is the star here, but the whole cast is really great as well.
3	Moribunny	73 _79th
Slick teen comedies are not a thing I usually go for, and Juno's Caulfieldesque brattiness had every chance of rubbing me wrong, but surprisingly I loved this. The characters really are round, and I don't mean Juno's belly; I found myself caring about every one of them, and I laughed and cried. More power to you, Diablo Cody! And while acting is satisfying across the board, Michael Cera's is a definite highlight. Criticisms of making teen pregnancy cool and of moralizing cancel each other out.
3	spamminator	40 _16th
Honest to blog I wanted to like this movie, but now I cringe at every ad for it. Every character is written to be 22 years old. You know what's cool? Guitars. And horror movies. And being an expert on music from before you were born.
3	krmr	78 _39th
Fun and cute, but the dialog can be a bit too much sometimes, and the soundtrack was getting on my nerves. If I heard another damn acoustic song I was going to vomit. It definitely had its fair share of flaws, but it's still very enjoyable.
3	Jherman89	90 _93rd
Ellen Page does a sensational job as the counter-culture pregnant teen named Juno. This film is hilarious, quirky but, sentimental in all aspects. The movie is powered by the clever writing and an excellent cast. One of the 2007's hidden gems.
3	Nathan S	2 _21st
Feels like it's trying too hard, thanks pretty much completely to Diablo Cody's hip lingo-ridden script. I can't count the number of times I rolled my eyes or sighed at it. Ellen Page plays Juno very well, but the character can be somewhat of a bitch (under the guise of "individuality"). Jason Bateman is good, as is Michael Cera but he doesn't get enough screen time. The movie is made with heart, but the brains are missing. I don't regret watching it, but I can't say I will again.
3	PeaceAnarchy	84 _77th
The dialogue is a bit annoying but it's amusing and touching and entertaining. Reminiscent of Knocked-up, a bit of a better story but less funny.
3	joseywales	69 _53rd
Great cast (aside from Jason Bateman who looks like he's never watched a horror movie in his life) with a great script that suffers from some hit-and-miss dialogue. This flick is way too cutesy and edgy for it's own good. Cute soundtrack, though.
3	weirdyoda	97 _97th
Fantastic. I loved everything about it, I love things that are hip and fresh. To me there is no way you can fault it for being too hip, cause hip is cool. Some people will think that characters like this don't exist and high school isn't like this, well, actually, there are people like this and this is what high school is like and I love this movie. Finally people are making movies about the kind of people I want to hang out with/like to hang out with/do hang out with. Ellen Page kicks ass!
3	Farzan	80 _75th
Juno is a funny, and sometimes laugh out loud hilarious film, with a great cast. Ellen Page is phenomenal as a pregnant high school student. I liked a lot of things about this movie, especially Jason Bateman and his uproarious jokes, and awkward tension. But one thing that really made me not like Juno any more was the constant pop culture references. In its entirety, Juno is a fun and unique comedy. Oh, and I am a sucker for J.K. Simmons.
3	MJVmovieMan	86 _88th
Writer Diablo Cody and Director Jason Reitman seem to be winking at the audience every minute of "Juno," and it's a thriving achievement due to lead actress Ellen Page, a rare find for a young actress - the newcomer doesn't miss a beat. An Oscar nod is most definitely on the way for her, and as for the movie, while it's a bit full of itself- it's also likely one of the best of the year.
3	saucyjack	90 _89th
What a lovely film. One of the best teen comedies to come along in ages is also one of the most affecting. Truly makes you cherish the ones you love with probably the best original screenplay of the year. One of my top three picks for the year.
3	Heer	80 _72nd
Gets a little too caught up in its quirkiness at times, but otherwise very funny and uplifting. Also Diablo Cody sounds like a douche.
3	Astfgl	80 _87th
Yes, the dialogue is grating, and yes the soundtrack seems like someone stole Zach Braff's iPod, but when it comes down to it this movie explored a lot of themes that standard teen comedies have been avoiding for years: teen pregnancy, lolita complexes, unhappy endings, and a total lack of "poignant lessons-learned" and "coming-of-age revelations." To that end, despite its shortcomings, the film is still heads-and-shoulders above its peers.
3	Luna6ix	42 _4th
Juno is the pretty much the first indie dramedy that blew up so big that it became mainstream. It is this movie that we have to thank for a billion others that followed. We can thank Diablo Cody for the retarded, wry sense of hipster humor that plagued us for the following years. To boot, I strongly dislike Michael Cera, Rainn Wilson, Jennifer Garner, and Ellen Page--and not only because of this movie. That makes this an astounding focal point for things that I loathe.
3	f201	45 _8th
Disliked it intensely. The dialog was stilted and unnatural, and the characters were annoying. Jason Bateman's character was made out to be a horrible bastard because he wanted to pursue his dream. Let's hope Diablo Cody goes back to stripping for hipster cred.
3	KAH	2 _40th
Leah: Yo Yo Yiggady Yo. Juno MacGuff: I'm at suicide risk. Leah: Juno? Juno MacGuff: No, it's Morgan Freeman. Do you have any bones that need collecting? Leah: Only the one in my pants... Juno MacGuff: I'm pregnant. Leah: What? Honest to blog? And so forth.. Morgan Freeman wasn't even in "The Bone Collector" btw.
3	Duco	78 _62nd
A really fresh perspective at normally boring and predictive pregnancy movies. This one stands out with an interesting, fun main character (played really great!) and not-so-ordinary plot. The directing and editing of the movie is quite relaxed; the movie has its plotholes, and generally I missed some more response from the boyfriend of Juno, but it was an enjoyable ride.
3	Cinema_Asia	55 _19th
Pregnant hipster chick gets knocked up by Michael Cera (who is the same character in every movie he's in). Plus there's a lot of hipster dialog and references to Dario Argento, indie/alternative bands, and hipster clothing which i'm sure the part time stripper-screenwriter Cody culled from her finest internet forum sources. Hipsters everywhere rejoiced with this movie because at long last they were represented by a quirky self validating 16 year old film avatar. Thunderbirds Go!
3	Leonardis	93 _75th
Quite promising, Ellen Page is hilarious, as is Cera, and the premise is surprisingly funny. Juno's characters and witty story are what really keeps the story going thanks to some solid work from Jason Reitman.
3	lisa-	2 _11th
needs more abortions.
2	MartinTeller	80 _66th
Everything I'd heard about the dialogue and the indie-by-numbers script had me dreading it. And there is some merit to those criticisms. You have to expect a certain degree of forced quirkiness from someone who calls herself "Diablo Cody". But if you take away the Rainn Wilson scene (one of the most painfully overwritten scenes I've ever heard) then it's really just Juno who embodies those characteristics. I was won over by the depth of the characters, and the genuine warmth of the film.
2	doctor7	75 _62nd
I was concerned the entire movie would have the same "quirky" and "hip" dialog as the first ten minutes, but thankfully it doesn't. There are some other faults, most notably the fact that the film is full of terribly obscure pop-culture references that end up feeling more like a pretentious writer patting themselves on the back rather than writing natural dialog. However on a whole the film works because it's got some honestly funny and entertaining moments that far out weigh the flaws.
2	Dorkovsky	4 _40th
Incredibly mediocre. Ellen Page trying to act makes me cringe, but Simmons delivers a few great lines.
2	Kavu	87 _89th
Nice script and great performances by Ellen Page and J.K. Simmons. Luckily Jennifer Garner is not on screen that much.
2	Kojiless	64 _68th
While decent, I kept getting the feeling that "Juno" was simply a menagerie of characterizations contrived to fit a quirky movie, rather than a movie made to tell the story of quirky characters.
2	GravyMaximus	45 _26th
A "quirky" (annoying) script masks a mediocre plot peppered with the most namedropping I have ever heard in a film.
2	Vince Leo (Qwipster's Movie Reviews)	70 _56th
With solid casting, especially of Ellen Page in what might be a star-making role, Juno succeeds in being funny, thoughtful, and always interesting. [Full Review]
2	HunterKing	74 _35th
There was a good movie here with great characters and humor but the twee aesthetic is getting pretty cliched and was wholly unnecessary. Featured the most "look at me" soundtrack since Garden State. Also drops cute teenage love on you with a character only shown about twice before the end of the movie. Basically, this movie could have been pretty cool if it didn't try to be so cool.
2	th_mertens	74 _64th
I'm always a little bit sceptic when people are stating a movie as the best independent comedy ever (check Knocked up, Superbad, ... ). But from the list of quirky comedies this one definitely belongs at the top. It has, besides some good jokes, a very true story to tell and although it deals with a hard issue it keeps away from being cheesy <--> too serious or being all judgemental.
2	cowfrappe	87 _97th
After one gets used to the rather affected dialogue, one finds as entertaining and touching a film as has been advertised. It's a joy to watch, from start to finish, and Ellen Page gives possibly the best performance of the year.
2	Alex Watkins	4 _70th
Liked it much more than I expected to, and found it far less "quirky" and affected than I expected to. It's genuinely funny, well-acted and very, very emotional at times (the scene where Jennifer Garner feels Juno's baby kicking is completely perfect). I don't really have much to say other than that, it's just a really, really good movie. See it.
2	CinematicESP	80 _51st
Amazing acting job by all, especially Ellen Page. The soundtrack is good too. My only problem is the hip slang dialogue seems a little forced sometimes, moreso at the beginning, but it eventually grows into its own skin.
2	TedDedon	73 _47th
For the most part, Juno is a good movie. It's oftentimes funny and well acted, it's just a tad too "hip" and high school for my tastes. There's really nothing extraordinary about this movie, and the writing itself goes way too overboard trying to peg the lingo of kids this day and age. I've never met someone in my life who spoke like Juno does who wasn't trying to be ironic. Juno's comedy often falls flat because of this issue. Juno is a renter; Oscar material it is not.
2	nilkynarfy	20 _13th
Man, do I fucking hate quirk. Full on movie masturbation by and for people that think they're deep, but have spent their lives not getting it at fucking all. Just drop names, keep dropping names, maybe one day someone will mistake you for cool. And when confronted with actual cool, deep shit, you react with, "Sonic Youth is just noise." Hate the love this bullshit gets. I mean, fuck, a pregnant teen keeps her baby? How cutting edge!
2	Stain	80 _68th
Good little comedy/drama which doesn't shirk from showing what dopes most people are (particularly teenagers)
2	Tripwyre	92 _94th
This movie gets crapped on for trying too hard to be quirky, but this isn't really a fair criticism of the script, so much as a reflection of its young characters. Juno (the character) does try hard: her hamburger phone is impractical and she gets a lot of references wrong ("Thundercats are go!"). The adult cast anchor the film firmly in reality, all playing honest, well-rounded characters. Bateman and Garner are terrific, while Cera and Page have a certain sweetness. There's a lot to love here.
2	JooJoo	4 _55th
Saved by some emotional resonance that rung true near its end [Arrested Development alumni get the most out of this]. Too little, too late, too stupid.
2	Anomaly	71 _51st
Burdened with some overwriting and unnecessary moralizing, it just squeaks by on the strength of its actors and some genuinely funny jokes. A mixed bag, some of which apparently causes hilariously vehement rage in internet commentators.
2	frederic_g54	6 _35th
(2nd viewing) Last scene of the film: Juno storms out of her house, gets on her bike and rides up to Bleeker's house as they start singing together for no apparent reason. Sweet and pointless, s'alright.
2	Haruko	90 _98th
th_mertens all ready said everything I wanna say about this movie hehe.. Propably one of my favorite movies from now on. I laughed out load the whole time and even felt like I'd gotten a new point on teenage pregnacy. That's a lot for a indie-comedy. The score is so high 'cos the film really is at the top of it's own genre.
2	no_clubs	70 _4th
Precious Juno is wise beyond her years. Clearly the writers worked overtime to provide her the wittiest jokes and most telling observations. Not at all believable that she is, at 16, as world-knowledgeable as Juno. And no 16-year old girl, without influence of parents or grandparents, is going to be touting the virtues of Mott the Hoople and their song "All the Young Dudes."
2	lavos222	90 _81st
So dry, so funny, and very sweet. The dialogue is something to behold: brilliantly written and perfectly delivered by Ellen Page, et al. It's pretty much this year's Little Miss Sunshine, so if you hated that, look elsewhere.
2	nandorizzi	90 _94th
Charming comedy. Sensitive, honest, intelligent and few. A film about communication, understanding and choices. Absurd dialogs. Unlosable.
2	hellsditch	85 _85th
Very sweet. Doesn't hit it's stride until Bateman and Garner get involved, but they take things to another level. Michael Cera is gold, as always.
2	gtown1479	92 _97th
I love the music in this movie. Not sure why because its not usually the type of stuff I listen too. I just thought it was a really good story. It had parts that were funny, but it was covered a serious issue. Great movie, and great interaction between Cera and Page, especially when he is talking to her about how the Blair Witch was on, and you know...
2	county_hell	75 _67th
solid acting from ellen page and michael cera, though for me, jason bateman was the standout. good supporting cast too, as the mom and dad were funny. but if not for the performances, this film wouldnt be all that good. diablo cody may be hip and cool, but for me, a lot of the dialogue was annoying, and her decisions to push juno's choices as noble, yet case bateman's character as an asshole were a bit too much for me.
2	Obdurate	85 _80th
A while ago I would have given this a 70, but it's grown on me. I don't think the dialogue is as unrealistic as others -- just exaggerated -- and I think it captures the teens who go on the internet really well. I've seen them try to one up each other with things like bands constantly. This is a more realistic film than people say, and it's touching and sometimes funny. It's charming and Ellen Page is convincing in the role, not to mention pretty (it helps).
2	INDYATMN	89 _85th
Interminable first 20 minutes or so. Though Diablo Cody claims to know several teens with a bevy of clever retorts when they're on the verge of unwanted pregancy, she's lying. Too cute by half. Also, in real life popular jock types do NOT secretly long for the alternative pregnant girl. They might DO her for a goof but that's it. Anyway, once Bateman and Garner show up we get a wonderful, funny,suprising, sweet but almost-never cloying story. One last thing. Re: Oscar noms -Garner was ROBBED!!!
2	QVT	1 _3rd
An embarrassment.
2	omgfridge	4 _34th
So indie underground hipster omg hamburger phone
2	Myszatek	85 _88th
Ellen Page as smart, witty, pregnant teenager. Absolutely charming and heartwarming experience. Good and matching score makes it even better.
2	Piglet	72 _68th
Ellen Page is so cute you could just eat her up. Add the best of Arrested Development and you've got a wonderful movie.
2	Bown	90 _92nd
REWATCH 25/07/10 - I forgot how awesome this movie was (very). Anyone who complains about the dialogue is a damned fool, as it's clearly incredibly stylised and not meant to be realistic. However it really is just an incredible coming-of-age story that knows more about being 16 than most.
2	DavidBlast	75 _72nd
Yes, yes. Fine little indie with a charming lead. Now move along.
2	TDG	0 _1st
Horrendous. You can tell the people writing the script found it really hilarious, too. "Honest to blog?" is really all I have to say.
2	misterlizard	85 _92nd
Finally watching this after half the internet quoting it to death left me expecting a painfully ironic hipster 'comedy'. Instead I got a funny and witty film with its heart in the right place. The soundtrack is a bit too deliberately kooky and hipster-cool, but everything else works really well. Page is fantastic. As written, her character could easily have been an unlikeable sarcasm-heavy teen. But she turns it into a credible combination of teenage bravado and vulnerability.
2	CMonster	74 _54th
It had Jason Bateman and Michael Cera, I was just waiting for some Arrested Development lines.
2	bof	72 _64th
Not quite as clever as it thinks it is, and the "heartwarming indie comedy" is becoming a genre so cliché-ridden it's starting to make the slasher movie feel fresh and inventive. But tons of charm and Jennifer Garner aside, great acting.
2	myfavchords	89 _95th
Ellen Page gives another great performance; she has really done some great work already in her career. The rest of the cast is also great. I would like to see Michael Cera play some different roles now. There is some great dialogue in this film.
2	Paxton	52 _23rd
The rapid fire dialogue is supposed to be clever and humorous, I found it to be neither. The guy I liked the most going in (Dwight Schrute), I hated the most. And I hated quite a few of the characters.
2	LookJabba...	3 _14th
Juno was a film I had heard a lot of positive things about. Sadly I was left disappointed and baffled as to what all the fuss was for. Regardless of how visually attractive Juno is as a piece of filmmaking, ultimately I didn't like, care for or connect with any of the characters and this is where the problems lie. Page is painfully annoying and Cena is his usual dull self. And bar Simmons the supporting cast is weak. But worst of all the script is tragically unfunny and completely unrealistic.

An amazing films with a fantastic sountrack, hillarious script and a touching storyline, not to mention an independent and hilarious female lead. A must-see!
1	TripleSH	83 _75th
I enjoyed the movie, the performances, but I tend to agree with a lot of the criticism here that the movie was a bit over-written to be too hip for its own good. Do teenager talk like that? Sure, they do. But it really isn't this incessant. However, this criticism doesn't detract from the fact that this movie is well put-together and fun.
1	rodbegbie	90 _87th
Splendid, splendid flick. Excellently written and scored, but real kudos to every actor in it, who managed to convey their characters perfectly.
1	AgentSnipe	85 _88th
Juno is one of those films where the right script came into the hands of the right director who was able to find an extraordinary cast and the result is a uniquely pleasant film. The film reveled a little too much in it's hipster appeal and the dialogue was perhaps too smart for the average person. However, there are moments that are so funny and genuine that the film ends up being a real pleasure to watch.
1	Filligan	88 _71st
Page is fantastic. And I dare anyone to pass up Michael Cera in incredibly short sporty shorts. A lot of people complain that the script is filled to the brim with forced hipness in the dialogue. But when you get right down to the characters, they're all incredibly endearing, especially Juno herself.
1	yoohoo	75 _52nd
I liked it. Ellen Page does a great job at the slightly fucked up, in way over her head, pregnant teenager battling growing up too quickly. Well written and acted. JK Simmons is always fantastic, I just wish there were more Michael Cera.
1	Shoran	70 _63rd
A very endearing and sometimes unbearablely sweet film.
1	bojanpopic	90 _87th
Great movie with one of the most appealing leading roles ever. Juno is not just name of the movie and main character, Juno IS the movie. Great movie full of optimism, with good ending without pathetic. And Ellen Page as Juno is just brilliant!
1	pilgermann	80 _76th
The word "hip" seems to be coming up a lot, and yes, it feels like the script was straining to be hip, but the film soon finds its footing and is a great experience. A bit of the music is sort of annoying but it mostly works with the mood of the film. It's very funny, often intelligent, and touching as well.
1	Tobia	70 _61st
Sometimes the dialogue is hard to believe - it's cute, but almost ridiculous. Other than that, some solid performances and great character dynamics really bring this film to life.
1	TheDiceman	70 _82nd
Good film.

1	Ayavaron	80 _83rd
FUN FACT: The sex scene in this film is exactly the same as the part where the housewife tries to seduce the eponymous character in Edward Scissorhands. It's lifted and placed here line for line.
1	teknicolor	35 _19th
A shitty hip as hell indie movie which really tries to be as obscure and hip as possible. Did I mention this movie is HIP? I actually liked Cera's character, he was a pretty believable teenaged boy. Bateman's character was... interesting, still not sure what to make of it. Ellen Page, however, will never be a good actress in my eyes; she always seems to play the same "hard-ass but still emotional on the inside" little girl. See: Hard Candy. She leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.
1	buggz79	80 _81st
A new and refreshing story on teenage pregnanacy and relationships. This rocked.
1	3Names	92 _87th
Ellen Page gives a 'star-turn'ing performance, along with great support from all involved... One of the better "pregnancy" themed films this year...
1	Paradiselost	79 _66th
I rather liked it, but unfortunately every movie with ellen page is ruined for me because she looks like someone I hate.

I ain't fallin' for it, but Page is okay, I guess.
1	insane	68 _66th
Not as good as i expected.
1	sw0	80 _60th
Cute film and I enjoyed the story. But, the dialog seemed a bit sophisticated for a 16 year old, i felt like i was watching an episode of Gilmore Girls. The soundtrack was kind of annoying at some points, as well.
1	Difontaine	87 _92nd
Don't be put off by the start - this is a charming film that doesn't veer too hard into sentimentality.
1	Cowman	65 _40th
I didn't see why this movie is so different from all other teen comedies out there, except it is supposed to be 'hip' and 'cool', but in fact it just reflects modern-day pop-culture, there is nothing new or original to it. This movie maybe hip today, but after 5 years it will probably be totally outdated. It was still entertaining and funny, it's just overrated.
1	twincinema	75 _64th
In 2007, I liked saying that I had heard "Anyone Else But You" before seeing this film, because indie cred was a real thing that you could exchange for goods and services. Rainn Wilson must feel great, as he was in this film for maybe a minute, but one of his lines was in every trailer. I do like Cody's penchant for putting difficult girls/women at the center of her films. This film feels easy to hate and dismiss because of the dialogue, but there's something real and messy happening underneath.
1	aceshigh	95 _96th
A movie about a teenage girl and her accidental pregnancy. A truly cute, funny and poignant look at young love and growing up. Excellent soundtrack too.
1	Mini-T	85 _64th
Ellen Page was great. And the acting of Michael Cera is hilarious , in a good way. Juno really is a funny and smart movie. The screenplay truly deserved an oscar.
1	WoozyB	85 _73rd
While some people without much going on in their lives whinged about there being a comedy on teen pregnancy, the rest of us just cringed through the first five minutes of rough dialogue into a pretty good film about family and friendship.
1	roujin	60 _55th
Gets worse the more you think about it.
1	amerigo	72 _30th
Mannequin acting when it comes to expressing actual emotions. The beginning and the end are abysmally bad. But it does offer some scenes in the middle that actually made me laugh. I just wish they didn't make almost every character "indie hip" and got rid of that grating soundtrack for that matter. Otherwise it's a fairly decent comedy, considering the woeful state of dry humor today.
1	wcnitz	84 _79th
A bit too enamored with its own wit at times ('honest to blog' is a good example), but very well written and a great story. Cody did a great job with this movie, she obviously has a bright future.
1	Shmendrek	4 _83rd
Don't really understand the backlash against this one. I was more inclined to listen to criticism, because hype really annoys me, but after seeing the film I can't say I get it. Sure, the movie starts with some really forced, unnatural dialog, which generally turns me off. But once you get past that, it's a great drama with some funny moments. (Note: I find it curious that some of the same people who criticize the dialog in Juno are Kevin Smith fans. Hmm.)
1	darkman	98 _99th
Nice and funny. Ellen Page's performance is amazing. Cool soundtrack. I get's better everytime I watch it.
1	Icarus	70 _41st
Great supporting cast across the board. Don't mind dialog that isn't realistic, as it forms the style of the film. However, when everything in the film seems to be pointing irony, irony, irony, I was thrown off with the whole Mark and Vanessa subplot. Mind you, I thought they were great performances, but I struggled to connect the emotional weightiness of that part of the film with the rest, which consistently forced characters to stand back and cleverly comment on the world around them.
1	PaperShinobi	92 _94th
beautiful
1	chakravo	85 _76th
Kickin' soundtrack, Michael Cera is perfectly typecast and Ellen Page has really evolved as an actress from Hard Candy, which was a great movie too. The only thing is that she's scripted as the 16 year old you wish you were or knew, because no 16 year is that cool or witty. So it's a bit of a fantasy, but a good one nonetheless.
1	muutanet	86 _91st
Ellen Page as a 16 years old getting-herself-pregnant school girl is brilliant in this very well written comedy. J.K. Simmons is his dad and gives a good role as well.

1	jstry	86 _80th
Endearing and sweet. Great casting -- it was so great to see Michael Cera and Jason Bateman in something together again (even if they didn't have any scenes together). Nice soundtrack as well.
1	Gigglestick	85 _79th
I often wondered what would've happened if little Joey Potter from Dawson's Creek - (now Mrs. Tom Cruise) - had've gotten knocked-up. Now we know. Neither the plot nor language are relatable to the experiences of most teenage girls who find themselves, "in the family way", but it's Hollywood: nothing has to be real. All that said, Ellen Page is stellar and (most importantly) believeable in her performance, and Jason Bateman is working again. Gotta dig that.
1	AnnMovie	45 _4th
Not really my kind of movie. Parts were good, some lines were funny, and moments were well done. And, for the most part, the movie was well acted. However, I did feel that certain story lines weren't totally developed. Most of this score is probably reflective more of my taste than the quality of the movie. Also, it pushes the PC-13 rating, I felt. It wasn't a horrible film - just not really my thing.
1	geohawk	93 _88th
Managed to meet mostly high expectations. For some people the most grating thing is Elliot Page, for others it is the dialogue. For me, it was the twee soundtrack. And it wasn't even that bad.

Ellen Page is wonderful as a teen with an independent mind who finds herself pregnant but refuses to lose her dignity and confidence. I hope to see her in many more films. J. K. Simmons as her dad, a delight as always.
1	cestmoi	75 _48th
Sorry, didn't love it! Take away my hipster doofus card if you must, but I thought it was self-conscious and self-indulgent.
1	ofallpieces	100 _98th
One of my favorite movies of all time, no hands down. The sarcasm and feel to the main character, Juno, feels real and carries a lighter mood with this serious topic. The way that Diablo Cody has written this character plays right into real life and makes me stay glued to the screen each and every time, no matter how many times go by.
1	TangVampire	100 _93rd
Great characters, great plot, great emotion. The characters are well-developed and the comedy style is top notch. Juno is easy to relate to and very likable.
1	Timon88	57 _52nd
Has a certain quirky charm, but most of the dialogue is too "clever" by half. The scenes with Jason Bateman are a relief--one of the only people in the flick that seems like a real person. And the wonderful Allison Janney gets the best scene in the movie.
1	milanfan	9 _15th
A painfully "quirky" string of pop-culture references infused with a pseudo-indie vibe. It didn't make me laugh, it didn't make me cry; all it did was leave me wondering how the academy could reward such a poor film.
1	muzak66	88 _86th
i thought it was very good ellen page and j.k. simmions were great together.
1	tathiel	53 _11th
The movie was nice, with some funny dialogue parts and the music was alright as well. What I found disturbing about the movie was the message you get: "You get pregnant?! No problem, give your baby to somebody else! If it suits you better later, then you can have another baby." Not in one minute is there any thought of the protagonists WHAT they have done wrong only HOW they can get rid of the problem, namely the growing baby in Juno's belly. And if the sex was planned: ever heard of condoms?
1	UniqueName	84 _74th
Pretty funny, well done, I just thought the movie kept plodding along and I just wanted them to get to the next hurdle already. Unfortunately the "next hurdle" was the end :(

1	Nkkbc	91 _77th
There is nothing to hate about this movie, one of the simply greatest comedies of recent years. Ellen Page's indelible portrayal of Juno remains one of her finest moments (just behind for "Hard Candy"), and Olivia Thirlby and Michael Cera embody today's teenage generation perfectly. Diablo Cody's script is impeccable with it's colloquial quips.

Juno is a kind of "feel-good" movie which are made to lift the spirits of the depressed. It is quite fun at times and the comedy is very different. Even the original soundtracks are awesome. But couldn't relate to the story as it was not my cup of tea.

1	Okkervil	70 _67th
A film it's become cool to bash. Personally I found it funny, well performed and very endearing. It's trying a bit too hard, but overall it's a sweet little film. I really don't get the hate?
1	DonP	89 _59th
This movie could've easily gotten lost in its own hipness (i.e. references to the lit mag McSWEENEY'S), but it avoided the "hipsters are cool, squares are bad" mentality. All the main characters, hip or otherwise, are well-developed. The actors' timing and delivery are near-perfect. Best of all, the story felt very, very honest. Definitely a few notches closer to real life (based on what I've seen in real life) than the usual teen-pregnancy films that get made.
1	aaasolanki	83 _85th
When I watched it for the the first time, it was like a breath of fresh air. The movie touched a common social ill and portrayed it really well with the society's reaction to it. Ellen Page is amazing in the movie and I became her fan post this :)

It's just nice to see a teenage pregnancy not turn into a Lifetime Channel Original Movie. Sure, things in this movie are exaggerated, but it's in a lighthearted, fun way. It messes with some stereotypes, and has a much more pleasant depiction of teenagers than most movies. I really appreciate that. These kids are generally smart and witty which teens seldom get credit for.

Reading other comments, people accused Juno of missing its target demographic as it was written by adults trying to appeal to teens and coming off as unrealistic, even pretentious, in the process. I agree but I don't see it as a bad thing - it has resulted in a unique script full of wit and intelligent humour that reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite which had a similar sort of isolated, desolate, not-quite-normal sedated feel to it. A great film.
1	Agentsands77	70 _52nd
Enjoyable comedy with heart.
1	creely	95 _79th
Ellen Page really is a marvel. You just want to be around her. She is like the friend (or girlfriend) that everyone wants. She plays 'Juno' magnificently and is well-supported by Cera in this super-cool indie flick.
1	Mr. Film	88 _67th
Jason Reitman proves in Juno that he is one of the few talented directors of this generation
1	PetrosTser	70 _67th
Clever but not always realistic, with a very good Elliot Page in the titular role. Michael Cera is likable, Jennifer Garner rather average and the trio of Jason Bateman, Allison Janney and J.K. Simmons very good. It's a bittersweet affair that feels a little one-sided sometimes but remains worthwhile.

It's not a bad film, and ends up being passable entertainment, but it doesn't have the emotional connection that is required of a great drama film. It has good actors playing interesting characters, but the character of Juno was far more unlikable than she needed to be in order for the audience to feel any sympathy for her. Some of the dialogue did get annoying, but it was still a fairly well written piece. It's not a great film, but it works as a decent drama about teenage pregnancy.

"Just when one is about to write off Diablo Cody's much-praised screenplay as less than the sum of its ornate quips, a scene will be flipped in an unexpected direction and a hidden vein of emotion suddenly struck." - Fernando F. Croce
1	Elysian Air	78 _50th
Although the pseudo-indie hipster aesthetic seems disingenuous at best (and pathetic at worst), there's a certain pastoral charm to the dialogue that burns the screen with a coolly detached irony. It's enjoyable at the very least for the self-conscious namedropping and the teenage attitude that you would expect from a girl with a hamburger phone. When it attempts to get serious with the Jennifer Garner subplot it fails in such a cute way. Diablo Cody is so adorable when she thinks she's serious.

1	Lady Moe	85 _60th
Sweet, quirky, funny, cute, touching, and gutsy. "Juno" tells the story of a teen pregnancy entirely from the point of the view of the teen mother. Elliot Page carries the whole film with his likable, yet very naive, portrayal of the eponymous Juno. At first I was a little put off by the lingo in the opening sequence but I quickly grew the accept the world I was in, where teens talk in the way that makes them feel more mature than they are. Like the characters, I found myself in love in the end.

Very sweet, cleverly directed, excellent cinematography, and with a brilliant script, this tennage pregnancy comedy must have been my favourite film of 2007, mainly because the excellent performance from Ellen Page holds the entire movie together. So what if Juno's larger than life, you've still got to love her!

Dialog while witty is unrealistic. Specially in situations when people should react differently than what is shown in the movie.

Ellen Page kind of steals the show in this movie. It's great to watch her performance and her character, but all of the supporting cast is kind of caricature. It's a nice story about a person, but at the end of the day it doesn't feel like much has changed or grown out of the story.

I was rather sceptical at the beginning, since the topic of teenage pregnancy seemed dangerously close to ending in a shallow teenager drama. Yet "Juno" is everything but. It's funny, sarcastic and cute, the actors match their roles perfectly and on top of that the soundtrack is awesome.
1	Petroleum	3 _0th
Juno is a movie that just tries to show the lives of "teenagers". By the way they talk, dress, act, and see the world, you can tell that these characters were put together to show a somewhat hipster and cool group of high school students. Just look at the stellar soundtrack/ It even pokes fun at its own endeavors in the way that Rainn Wilson talks to Juno. Some people watch this movie and hates that it takes on that view of the world and young people; I personally love it.
1	SullaLion	99 _87th
A beautiful, quirky, witty, and emotional movie that allows us to connect with characters and see into their lives. Almost all of the choices in casting, music, setting, etc., were perfect. Ellen Page carried this film with her charm, timing, and depth of emotion. Fans of this movie will probably like the Steve Martin classic "Parenthood" (1989).

It really had some unique and bright sides. But some of the ideologies behind the characters and actions are just dragged and ripped forcefuly by the script imo. And its not making anything "great" at screenplay and cinematography departments either. But its still a bold movie, heart warming, has a good cast which are performs solid acting.

For all of the film's briefness, the characters have remarkable depth-the most surprising being the supporting Bateman and Garner's cool but flaky Mark and uptight but sympathetic Vanessa. Their shaky marriage adds an intriguing layer of drama to the already witty yet genuine teen pregnancy/love storyline, featuring the awkward but gentle Cera and the offbeat quick-talking Page, and dressed with a quirky screenplay and an ever present soundtrack both cutely whimsical and sugary sweet.

A great sense of humor and an excellent turn from Ellen Page make Juno an excellent teenage comedy. I appreciated how it handled its themes without taking any stances, even if the story was occasionally a bit melodramatic.

not the masterpiece i was expecting. dialogs are a bit too scripted but adorable nevertheless and i give it +10 just for the soundtrack, best enjoyed without the movie

It's a normal story but the acting is so good and the script is so funny, it becomes an amazing story to watch.

(...)Juno beginnt mit der Respektlosigkeit einer Screwball Comedy und endet als Charakterstudie. Mit Figuren, die wir lieben gelernt haben! Schon erstaunlich, wie wir trotz der dreisten und hippen Dialoge, Juno von Grund auf kennenlernen und verstehen. Das ist ganz allein der Verdienst von Ellen Page - und gabs in letzter Zeit überhaupt eine tollere Performance als ihre?(...)

Honestly this is my all-time-favorite movie. Between the simplistic realism in the awkward interactions that many teens can relate to and the actor choice this is always the first movie I show my friends.

W4E1P2S2V1M2A2R3. Awesome soundtrack. Only knock on the premise is the Jason Bateman relationship, which was the only part of the movie that feels forced. And they could have accomplished the same thing without the weirdness.

This movie caused an unhealthy obsession/crush in Ellen Page when I was in high school. An obsession that smacked me in the face when I learned she was gay and I would never be able show her my body in tube socks and yellow running shorts. Great movie though, dialogue is sharp and the cinematography is strong enough it tells the story on its own sometimes. If you're an insecure high schooler, inexperienced sexually and you want to crush over someone who's not a barbie doll, Ellen Page is it.

Juno's quirky tone, dark humor, and timely themes are matched with Ellen Page's witty performance to deliver an instant comedic classic.

Jag hade verkligen inga stora förväntningar före jag såg filmen. (Kolla affischen, hur dum verkar inte filmen?!). Men faktum är att den är närmare fem än fyra, kanske blir betyget till och med en femma när jag fått tänka klart... Filmen är väldigt snyggt berättad, den innehåller mycket värme och Ellen Page i huvudrollen är ett fynd. Visserligen blir den nästan VÄL mysig ibland, särskilt när pappa och styvmor är i farten, men den är inte bara feelgood... Här finns (korta)

I recall enjoying this film, but it's been so long I don't remember if it's worthy of liking more.

Everything about this is admirable, I think sometimes Juno is too clever for me to believe it, and if the scenario was a little more realistic I'd rate it higher. I love the little details about each character and still recommend.

One of my favorite movies of all time. A wonderful combination of humor, heartbreak, and honesty.
