MCT:September 7, 2008fairly interesting comedy with a quite nice soundtrack.... Juno's attitude gets on my nerves a bit. but it's an alright film.
-
MCT:September 6, 2008I want to start off by saying i know only 3 people who didnt like this movie and none of them have given me a valid reason on why.
I can understand not liking a movie just give me a reason why. A few of them said its cause its not realistic, I have to agree but thats not always the reason I go to watch a movie. You go to be entertained. Besides, you should have been able to tell that it wasnt realistic from the trailer.
Anyways heres the review.
The movie is about a 16 year old girl who gets pregnate from her best friend when they decide to have sex for the heck of it. She decides to keep the kid and and give it to a couple who cant have them. When she finds the right couple she basically finds that the wife is a bitch but just different, and she has a lot in commen with the husband. She obviously falls in semi-love with the husband as does he. Then she relizes that he loves her and kinda screws up the couples marrage even though it was on the verge of destruction.
Pros- The movie is very enjoyable with great acting from the whole cast. Very nicely directed with a great screenplay. Has a great soundtrack (if your into that type of music).
Cons- They dont focus enough on Juno's best friend and make out to be that he doesnt really give a shit about Juno or the fact that she is pregnate with his child.
Its not realistic, which might irritate some people. The soundtrack isnt for everyone.
All and all I greatly enjoyed myself in this movie and plan on buying the dvd soon. 5/5./ -

This is real nice. Not as good as rumour dictated but hey, they infrequently are. Was gonna give three and a half but then remembered some of the crap I've rated higher. Worth a watch...

Lovingly crafted movie, great concept, Ellen Page and Jennifer Garner very well-cast. Conveys a sense of stark realism lacking in many movies. Wonderful soundtrack.
-
MCT:September 5, 2008I do not understand all the praises this movie gets. People say this is a realistic teenage film. Name me one teenager who uses irritating 80s sarcasm on constant bases, drinks vast amounts of slushees, and routinely visits a family where she pretty much falls in love with the husband. The comedy in this was annoying and the acting was bad (especially form Ellan Page and Michael Cera). The only good part of the movie was J.K. Simmons. He was te only character the comedy agrteed with. All in all, this was not a best picture caliber film my a mile.

MCT:September 5, 2008
A great movie. It was so simple, yet I found myself laughing through most of the movie. It was amazing. Ellen Page and Michael Cera make a great duo, and the cameo by Rainn Wilson was great. This is just a movie with tons of great one-liners that everyone needs to see. You will not be disappointed.

MCT:September 4, 2008
Pretty funny, and not overly dramatic like I thought it would be. I'm glad I was forced to watch this, because otherwise I would not have given it a second thought.
-
every teen in high school should watch this. it is a very good example of how it is to be pregnant which i think they already know.
-
MCT:September 4, 2008Its just another one of those damn pregnancy movies. the only thing that makes it better is HER personality and the music.
-
MCT:September 4, 2008
I loved Juno's soaring beauty.the edge of reasons,for serious.Reitman however is still incapable of manufacturing his space and enlargement of situations,it's thanks to his cast and exceptional,if not stylistic,dialogue by Cody where uplifting moments are contrasted to the anxious background of reality.

i enjoyed the film but the think i like most was the 'HAMBURGERPHONE' and when 'JUNO AND THE ADOPTED FATHER SLOW DANCED'!!!

Juno is a great film that really has a great story and is fun to watch. It is about pregnant teenager Juno McGuff and her friend Paulie Bleeker the father of her baby. Juno is a wise teenager and she realizes that she is not in the predicament to take care of a child and raise it when her and Paulie are not even together. Juno tries to make sure that she is giving her baby up to the right people. In the end it is sad and really reflects on todays societ and this film does not make life seem perfect.
Ellen Page is joyous as the quirky and witty Juno. Ellen is a debuting as a starring actress in this film and this film is worth celebrating for her. She gained an academy award nomination. She really does show the true sides of being in todays society and what is like to be considered an outsider and not have many friends. Ellen is going to be a mainstreamer for many years and with a debut role of the calibre how can one go wrong.
Michael Cera is just one of those watchable actors. He is funny and crazy in Aressted Development and then takes it up a notch in Superbad a funny comedy worth wacthing if that I say so myself/ Cera does something in Juno that he has never done something Im glad he did. He really showed he has a career in something more then a comedy. He is fun to watch on the bigscreen. He really has a I-Try-really -hard-look. Great performance and great intimacy between Ellen and Michael. Cera is going to be one of my top ten must watch actors over the next few years.
Juno was a well recieved Indie flixk that really does have a lot to make it good. Word of mouth and the hype spreads to quickly. This is the type of film that is more apreaciated if it is seen earlier on in its release. After a while it starts to be well-praised and almost deemed as the perfect film to watch. It is great and fun to watch and really could end up being the top film of 07.
The reason that so many people will accpet it this film in the end is because it truly does reflect todays society and how we live. It does not end all happy. It truly steps aside and delivers the knockout ending punch that so many film fans have been wanting to see for such a long time. It really does not end all Hollywoodish and it really never portrays itself as the big hollywood blockbuster. Great marketing and a great story along with a few well known actors and actresses really are what caught everyones eye.
Definitley a must see movie, despite all its hype, put it all aside and look at it as a hole and then it will become clear that it is a must see of 07 -
MCT:September 2, 2008Quirky, humorous although a bit touchy, dramatic, and a bit risque with it subject matter this film walks a fine line between a being a distasteful teen comedy and smart comedy with a strong center of drama based around family and relationships. I will admit the beginning was a bit off humor wise, but stick through that rough patch and it will draw you in with an especially strong outing by young Miss Page. She is the core of the film without her slightly off beat sense of humor and strong will the film would probably fall off track. The surrounding cast is finely cast with Leah, Juno's friend being a bit more teenagerish than Juno, offering a funny sidekick and J. K. Simmons having a strong base as the rather rough around the edges father who ultimately cares about his daughter no matter what. Really the film did disappoint a bit from the hype, but that was to be expected. It had an off beat sense of humor which made for some great laughs and some strong drama moments making for a good balance, but nothing astounding. If there is anything to be loved about this it is Page's shining performance.

I recommend this movie. Aside from its many use of foul language which I don't quite agree with, the movie itself is very educational and realistic. It teaches the viewer many life lessons and the importance of being responsible when it comes to respecting our bodies and the gift of sexuality as intended by God. This gift is intended for the Sacrament of Marriage, for the married couple to first unify their married love and then seal it with the gift of children, the fruit of their marital union. In the story of Creation, God told Adam and Eve to be fertile and mutiply. God continues to tell married couple to do the same; and to those who are not married, He says, keep your body chaste and pure. And to those who are carrying a life in their wombs, He says,
" trust me I knew your baby, before I formed him/her in your womb (Jermiah 1:5). Turn to me with great trust in my divine providence and I will help you like no other. In me and with me, all things are possible. I have a plan for your unborn child and for you. Tomorrow is a new day. Look beyond your present situation-your anxiety, anger, frustration, hopelessness, material poverty, joblessness, feeling of abandonement, hardships, anguish, pain, sorrow, fear...take my hand and I will take you through, for I am the Creator of the child in your womb. He is a gift from me to you and to the world. I have a plan for him. I am his faithful father. I love both you and him for both of you are my children-the fruit of my fatherly love. Open your heart and receive my un-divided and unconditional love."
The moral behind the movie is upholding and respecting the dignity and sanctity of all human life, especially the unborn who is not a piece of tissue but a growing and developing human being with a complete DNA. Just as the born human being goes through certain stages of life, from an infant to an elderly, so it is the same with the unborn baby whose life starts from the very moment of conception (as verified by science) to the day he enters the world and continues to grow into an adult.
This is a must see movie for youth (teenagers to young adults). It teaches the lesson that respecting the gift of sexuality, keeping our bodies pure and chaste, is a must and necessity, and one must do it for his/her own good and benefit and those of others and society in general. The gift of sexuality must be saved for the Sacrament of Martimony, for marriage. When this special gift is misused, there are devastating and deadly consequences, such as, psychological, emotional, spiritual problems, and even physical health issues-HIV and AIDS and STDs "sexually transmitted diseases (some think that using condoms will prevent them from getting these diseases, but recent research along with witnesses of AIDS and HIV victims confirm that condoms are not 100% safe and protected and that one must practice chastity and abstinence to avoid HIV and AIDS and STDs), breast cancer, blood clot which can be serious, and cervical cancer, etc. as a result of the use of artificial contraceptions like the bill, diaphram, the shot, etc.; even sterilization and abortion (with abortion to an even greater and serious degree which includes the very possibility of death) have the same deadly consequences as artificial contraception. The use of artificial contraception is a license to the abuse of the gift of sexuality.
Once again, Abortion and the use of artificial contraceptives lead to psychological, emotional, and spiritual problems. Both abortion and artificial contraceptives, according to recent research, lead to woman health problems like breast cancer, cervical cancer, even mental disturbances and depression. The divorce rate in the modern world has sky-rocketed ever since the introduction of artificial contraception in the married and family life. Divorce and the use of birth control are connected. All marriages must be open to the blessing of children, the "fruit" of the marital love. A married couple that is not open to children and uses contraception or even worse, aborts its children, will likely end in divorce down the road!
Many abortion victims (mothers of all ages who aborted their unborn babies), sexually active teen-agers and young adults, and users of artificial birth controls experience and suffer great depression, suicidal attempts-psychological and spiritual disturbances.
For more on the unborn, see my other comments on the movie, "Narnia." May God bless you and keep you safe from both physical and spiritual harm. Married couple must practice Natural Family Planning, God's way of spacing pregnancies (if necessary) instead of birth control. Natural Family Planning is when the married couple goes by the wife's fertile and infertile cycle-God's natural way of spacing children. It is very healthy and it won't lead to woman's health issues. It is chemical free. It is natural and is highly recommended by good doctors and the Catholic Church. To find out more on Natural Family Planning, you can just google Natural Family Planning and look up websites that advocates Natural Family Planning the best and one and only healthy way to space pregnancies. -

Certainly not a bad movie, but overrated in my book. The movie kept making turns that I thought were going somewhere, and would develop the movie deeper (the relationship between the adoptive parents, the relationship between Juno and her b/f, an unexpected break-up that occurs). Many plot developments that never really go anywhere.

Juno was not nearly as good as I thought it would be. It is so over rated. People make this movie out to be such an original movie with great heart. First off its not original, they copied most of the story right off of Knocked Up which was very good. Second off their wasn't that much heart besides for Juno and her friend Pauly. The acting in this movie was really really good but I didn't think that Ellen Paige deserved to be up for any academy awards. The critics did like this movie along with the other movie about pregnancy. It seems to me like the critics like pregnancy type of movies. It was a very funny movie though don't get me wrong. It was a great teen comedy movie as well. I just think that I found Ellen Paige very annoying in this movie. Some of the phrases they used in this were very corny. It was very cute and had some great meaning but at the same time it was pretty boring. I guess I didn't like it as much maybe because im a teenage guy. This might be a movie more for girls. I think it was just not my kind of movie. I think that this movie was a great way to show teens what really can happen at this age. Teenagers today they don't wear protection as much as they should, just like in this movie. I really did like Michael Cera in this movie though. I think once again he did a great job. He really saves this movie in my opinion for me. Toward the end of this movie I was finding my self very bored. I would have to say that this was one of the happy, feel good movies of 2007. I can't make fun of this movie just because I didn't like it as much as i wished I would have. The critics liked it and it seems to me like everyone I ask liked it to. I just found that one of the messages in this movie was saying that its okay to go ahead and get pregnant at this age. At the same time they were also showing you what getting pregnant can do to you. Overall this was a very liked movie by most people. I think that you should definitely see this movie and just get a glimpse of how real this movie was.

I freaking loved this movie, it was sooooo funny. I watch it all the time and can almost quote it all the way through.

MCT:August 28, 2008An ok movie, that somehow became overrated? I liked, didn't love it, and it certinely didn't deserve a Best Picture nod. Who would actually vote for this? A stupid, irresponsible teenager that gets pregnant, is really what they were trying to get America to stand for? I hated No Country for Old Men, but it deserved to win over this. After a little bit Ellen Page starts getting on your nerves with all of the brainless lingo. And Michael Cera....I shouldn't start up with him, but I will. He is without a doubt the worst actor to ever be seen on the silver screen. He is cardboard, he talks wierd, he is stiff, and has no human emotions. Kind of like a rock. But I was surprised by the preformance Jennifer Garner gave. It was very touching, moving, and sad. Like when she is feeling the baby and talking to it, amoung other scenes. I really think that she should have gotten an Oscar nomination for it. If she did she probably would have won.

it was cute and funny. but i dont exactly understand why it got awards and nominations. i think that the music was what made it. it gives a false impression of love.

I don't like the message this film sends to teenage girls. Specifically, that teen pregnancy is without consequence. Indeed, the film seems to be conveying the message that you can get knocked up, then give the baby away without emotional trauma, and all the while, your parents won't get mad at you and your boyfriend will stick by you.

Pretty much brilliantly handled. Lesser writers and directors would've made the pregnancy ultra sappy. And made Juno and Mark a total pedo or seduction angle. Reitman and Cody made the story much more unique and handled it delicately.

what a film, sensitive at times and it is so laid back, Juno is one of those hidden gems. Juno is misunderstood and has her own unique view of the world and is a great performance from Ellen Page. The soundtrack is great and it works so well with the film and its an easy film to slip into and relax. I love the chemistry between the adoptive father and juno, the parents reaction is perfect, one of support and understanding, no yelling or shouting, they accept their daughter is pregnant and dont make out she is wrong but support her. a perfect film, i cant recommend it enough.
