This movie is just what the comedy genre needs! It's funny and heartwarming, and the plot is something lots of people (sadly) can relate too. I am not a fan of any of the cast-members in this movie, but I was impressed by their performances. I would reccommend this to any and everyone who wants to get a good laugh and (maybe) a good cry, while having fun at every turn.

Though not as hilariously funny as Knocked Up, in a way, it's better. It's more "real" than the Apatorw film is. This film takes us through all of the struggles that a teenager goes through when this type of think happens. This is a great subtle comedy.

When I saw the Plot for this film I though ah bother here comes a wannabe teen movie trying to live up to the response from knocked up. Surprisingly this turned out to be one of my favorite films of 2008 so far. Amazingly well written and Ellen Page really plays this character better than enyone else could. I like the feeling you get after watching this film. Happy yet a tinge of saddness from a few events that havnt quite gone perfect. Nice to see J.K. Simmons in a role other than the spiderman editor as well. What made this film for me however was the music. Cheerfull and accoustic im definatley going to buy the soundtrack.

Finally! A movie where teen pregnancy is the conflict and the family is mature enough to pull together and handle the situation responsibly and to the best of their ability. Meet Juno, a knocked up sophomore whose quick draw wits and lovable personality get her in and out of biological trouble. [Page] is relentless and rude, but relative and roaring with life. The themes in this movie transcend themselves, in this quirky comedy where drama, hardship, honesty, wit, and boredom collide into a fun, smart, and charming flick everyone can enjoy.

I laughed and I cried! I couldn't really ask for more. Juno was everything people had been talking it up to be. Page was very funny and moving as a pregnant teenager, a very different role from her previous work in "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "Hard Candy". The actors were all perfect for their roles and it makes me eager to see where Page and Cera go next. Also be sure and check out the soundtrack if you liked the movie.

Juno is Knocked up, though not as slapstick funny. I am not a fan of Ellen Page but Jennifer Garner impressed me. A solid Comedy that brings maturity into a genre that has been lacking it since Little Miss Sunshine. Knocked up is better.

Witty, well written and one of the best all-around comedies I have seen. Similar type of humor to Super Bad but a little bit more subtle. Add this to your holiday watch list.

One of the strongest comedies of the year, and if anyone should compare it to that other pregnancy comedy of the year, Knocked Up, Juno is clearly more original, funny, emotional, and downright enjoyable. The cast is perfect, there are strong performances all over the place. Once you get past Ellen Page's "too cool for life" attitude in the beginning of the film, you settle into a good time. It's hard to pick a standout performer in the film, I guess you have to give it to Page as she's in nearly every scene, but all the supporting players are great as well.
