Consensus: One of the brightest, funniest comedies of the year, Juno's smart script and direction are matched by assured performances in a coming of age story with a 21st century twist.
Theatrical Release:08-02-2008
Synopsis: The word "quirky" has become the quick and easy way to describe films such as LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and LARS AND THE REAL GIRL that straddle the lines between indie and studio films and comedy and... [More]

Reviews for Juno
81 - 100 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
[A] heightened, brightened, skip-a-dee-doo-dah glide through one of life's big goalposts: not so much growing up but growing out. And I don't mean bellywise, either...
12/16/07
The most pleasant surprise of the year.
12/15/07
Juno's relationship with her parents is one of the best things in the movie. For once, we get parents who genuinely love their child and respect her decisions.
12/14/07
By its end, Juno, in its guilelessly chatty way, touches the heart -- and yes, I had tears in my eyes. This movie works, on its own terms.
12/14/07
The best thing about this movie is that for all its wiseacre badinage, it's utterly believable about the most basic of human situations.
12/14/07
The movie itself doesn't claim to be anything other than what it is: a modest crowd-pleaser with a little bite.
12/14/07
Juno isn't a film made in the bell jar of unlikely reality that is, far too often, Hollywood: It's a film whose attention to real-life detail is so fine, audiences will be hopelessly and happily lost in its story from the first frame.
12/14/07
I feel almost duty-bound to say something contentious about the highly praised Juno, but truth is, it's every bit as good as advertised.
12/14/07
Part whip-smart teen comedy, part drama, backed by a quirky soundtrack and the most subtle comic performance by a youngster in years, Juno is a rare feel-good film in the morose pack of Oscar contenders.
12/14/07
Juno is unerring, compassionate and funny as heck.
12/14/07
An exceedingly clever, offbeat comedy about a pregnant teenager.
12/14/07
That smart, hip, human comedy you've been waiting for all year? The one with dialogue like a sugar rush and performances like grace notes? It's called Juno and it just arrived in theaters. Go forth and multiplex.
12/14/07
It not only more than lives up to all of the advanced hype, it is actually even better than the advanced word has been suggesting.
12/14/07
It takes Juno about 15 minutes to calm down and get its joke reflex in check. ... And by the end you've fallen in love with the thing.
12/14/07
a charmingly refreshing film that could be the sleeper hit of the year.
12/14/07
It's one of the best movies of the year.
12/14/07
Juno gets two things dead right about contemporary teenagers...
12/14/07
The film's forced quirkiness constantly threatens to derail the entire enterprise. But it keeps being put back on track by the apparently effortless performance of a great young actress.
12/14/07
Could have played up the subversive, satirical possibilities of the scenario, but [Diablo Cody's] first script is too smart, her affection for her characters too strong, to mistreat the story and its inhabitants so.
