What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said. Diablo Cody, though not the best writer in America is definitely wonderful. Ellen Page and Michael Cera are a great on-screen pair, as well as J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney. Jason Bateman is a perfect anti-hero and Jennifer Garner holds her own against some of the more well-known actors in the cast [I do know that she is well-known, but she's never been serious outside of "Alias" before]. A great picture, though not better than "The Departed," despite what all my friends said. Highly recommended.

"As boyfriends go, Paulie Bleeker is totally boss." Every time I watch "Juno", it moves me. Excellent screenplay, superb acting. A+++

Juno is afilm i enjoyed more the second time around. The first time i saw it, it wasn't what i was expecting and probably put me in the back seat because of it, but i can see now the film that it wants to be, and succeeds in being. Its a film about people. Not just Juno. The way her life and situation effects those of the couple wanting to adopt the baby, the way it effects her crush Paulie Bleaker. This is what i wasn't expecting that first time. But Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garners characters are equally as important as Juno. Its whip-smart language and performance from Ellen Page keep its head well above the water, and what could have been a run of the mill story becomes something completely original.

Juno is a sassy and funny movie with a twist on the classic "teen pregnancy" deal. When 11th grader, Juno, finds out she is pregnant with her best friend being the father, she is shocked, but doesn't let the baby stop her from being her crazy, sarcastic, charismatic self. It's an amazing movie that adds just the right amount of laughter, tears, and satisfaction you would want in a movie. I give it 4 stars, but would also put a parental warning on it for nudity and language, advising that this movie stays PG14.

Juno is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. It has a feel of a 80s teen movie with the wit and maturity of an adult (slightly dark) comedy. The writing is fantastic and the movie does a great job of dealing with a difficult topic without being preachy or turning into an afternoon special. The characters really make this movie and they all feel like real people. Great movie!

I fell in love with this movie since the first time i saw it. The language was hilarious. Most people I got to watch this movie liked it. Like another user said it has an "acquired humor." I though Ellen Page played the part.

My favorite line is: "I'm already pregnant. So, what other shinnanigans can I get into?"

This was an awesome movie. Ellen Paige carried this entire movie. She did a great job What I loved most was the sarcasm and wit. I laughed from beginning to end. This was extremely well written. While the plot is good as well, the actual dialogue, Juno's dialouge mostly, is what made this movie. I honestly can't get enough of Juno. I can watch it over and over again and it still cracks me up as much as it did the first time.

Ellen Page did perfect in her portrayal as Juno. For those who didn't find the movie very funny....I guess it's just an acquired humor. I found it amusing from start to finish, the sarcastic and "junoish" remarks were classic.

Awesome movie with excellent dialogue. Totally worth adding to your collection of movies. Ellen Page was amazing as the character Juno.
