filled with tart dialogue that entertains the audience, but always gives us an insight into the character speaking it and the pain they are going through.

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
101 - 120 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Cody's script is filled with smart, funny, very specific lines that define the characters and tell the story.
12/13/07
It's so much fun that it's easy to overlook the film's rather conventional plot arc.
12/13/07
Juno invites you into a world you won't want to leave.
12/13/07
Not since Election has a female star talent hit the screen with such a sting of arrival.
12/13/07
The sophomore film from Jason Reitman is as smart and funny as his debut feature Thank You for Smoking, and even more affectionate and full of life.
12/13/07
Juno, the second feature directed by Jason Reitman, is far from great but it has qualities of feeling that lift it far above the ordinary.
12/13/07
What kind of movie is Juno? The rarity that plucks your heartstrings while tickling them.
12/13/07
It transcends its own genre. Only superficially a teen comedy, the movie redounds with postmodern -- but emotionally genuine -- gravitas.
12/13/07
Full of great characters and well crafted and fascinating relationships, it may be the best film of the year.
12/13/07
Once [Page] - and her character - move beyond the too-cool-for-school act, Juno becomes something special, and memorable.
12/13/07
She is a wonderful character in her own right. I'd watch a movie about her going to the movies. But Cody's conviction is to get Juno pregnant so I'll watch a movie about that.
12/13/07
The movie is distinctive for its complicated emotions.
12/13/07
Too desperate to be hip.
12/12/07
A triumphant conclusion to the unplanned pregnancy trilogy.
12/12/07
There’s a charm to the way the innocence of its design is challenged only by the elegant individualism of its memorably cynical protagonist.
12/12/07
Screenwriter Cody's wit and imagination are seemingly endless.
12/12/07
Almost impudently wry and sassy but with an unexpected vein of seriousness and poignancy, this is a crowd-pleaser of the best sort.
12/11/07
Only "quirky" in that it is so very sincere...please go see it.
12/10/07
Juno is a coming-of-age movie made with idiosyncratic charm and not a single false note.
