Reviews for Juno
It's disarmingly fresh, frank and funny, this story about young love, being knocked up, and the unexpected direction the unplanned pregnancy takes
01/12/08
One of the wittiest, smartest, and funniest films to come along this year.
01/10/08
A very cute movie with a great soundtrack. Though, imho, not the award winner for which it's been receiving so much buzz. Michael Cera (Bleaker) nails every scene he's in.
01/10/08
[Page] plays each moment without ego and with total candor, and that's ultimately the secret to Juno's success.
01/08/08
That Juno has been heralded for its realistic portrayal of a teen girl's point of view demonstrates how poorly the demographic has been represented on screen.
01/06/08
The filmmaking team of Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody have taken the premise of a teen comedy and injected it with an anti-cliché serum.
01/02/08
It's smart, funny, and charming.
01/01/08
Skin-deep treatment of teen pregnancy, but keep your eyes on Ellen Page; she's worth the price of admission.
01/01/08
The most overrated film of the year isn't bad, it's just trying too hard.
12/31/07
Much of "Juno" crackles with great lines that nobody would ever actually say, but everyone wishes they would think of.
12/31/07
one of the strongest characters in cinema this year. Look for a bunch of Academy Award nominations
12/30/07
If Juno were cheese and macaroni, it would be among the most satisfying mac-and-cheese dishes ever conceived.
12/29/07
Juno is a snarky afterschool special for the Pinkberry crowd.
12/28/07
...a smart and snappy antidote to the cretinous teensex movies that have become a staple of American cinema.
12/28/07
Cody's writing is entrancing. Characters speak in a stylized, heightened reality reminiscent of Kevin Smith's mid-1990s stunners Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy.
12/26/07
... definitely one of the better films this year thanks to Page and Reitman, and it'll be hard to wait and see what this actress and this director pull out of their hats next.
12/26/07
Bright, brazen and often very funny
12/26/07
After three viewings, I kind of feel like I have a crush on 'Juno' the movie and Juno the character. I'm poised halfway on the emotional scale between the bemused affection of Juno's tolerant father and the wide-eyed wonder of Juno's pale boyfriend.
12/26/07
...filled with laugh-out-loud gags, witty dialogue and geniune emotion.
