1 - 20 (sorted by critic A-Z; Australian critics are listed first)
Top CriticJuno'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
It's smart, funny, and charming.
01/01/08
The most pleasant surprise of the year.
12/15/07
It's so much fun that it's easy to overlook the film's rather conventional plot arc.
12/13/07
A movie already reputed to be hipper than tomorrow night, Jason Reitman's follow-up to Thank You for Smoking is actually sweet, romantic and irony-free.
12/06/07
[Page] plays each moment without ego and with total candor, and that's ultimately the secret to Juno's success.
01/08/08
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
Sweet, sassy, and satisfying.
12/18/07
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
Right from the beginning when Juno is chugging away on Sunny D, we want to see watch she will say and do next.
09/04/08
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
A sweet-and-sour look at the traumas of teen life, and the way that sometimes, improbably, they can be transformed into small miracles.
12/20/07
Juno, directed by Jason Reitman, is smart, witty, and engaging -- three ingredients that, when applied to any film, comprise a recipe for success.
12/05/07
Juno is a great little movie, and its quirky, intelligent approach to teenage characters could teach a thing or two to the makers of teen horror flicks.
07/05/08
coming-of-age meets coming-to-term, in a film that is refreshingly frank about sex and love, pokes fun at the clashes between age and class, and, even more subversively...celebrates the pregnant possibilities of the non-nuclear family.
02/07/08
Ellen Page makes for the most exceptional movie teen in many a year.
12/17/07
That essence of pugnacious energy that is Ellen Page has just taken another solid step toward certain stardom.
10/25/07
Kicking up a fuss (much like Juno's unborn child), this is easily one of the year's best releases.
12/20/07
One of the brightest and funniest comedies of the year with a delicious performance by Ellen Page as a precocious and big-hearted teenager on a mission of love.
