Editorial Review: Product Description: Explore the outrageous "Junoverse" of the year's most talked-about comedy with this 2-Disc Special Edition of Juno-bulging with awesome special features to deliver hours of laughs and tons of feel-good fun!Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) is a cool confident teenager who takes a nine-month detour into adulthood when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy-and sets out to find the perfect parents for her baby. With the help of her charmingly unassuming boyfriend (Michael Cera) supportive dad (J.K Simmons) and no-nonsense stepmom (Allison Janney) Juno sets her sights on an affluent couple (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) longing to adopt their first child.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: COMEDY/COMING OF AGE Rating: PG-13 UPC: 024543519805 Manufacturer No: 2251980 Amazon.com: Somewhere between the sharp satire of Election and the rich human comedy of You Can Count On Me lies Juno, a sardonic but ultimately compassionate story of a pregnant teenage girl who wants to give her baby up for adoption. Social misfit Juno (Ellen Page, Hard Candy, X-Men: The Last Stand) protects herself with a caustic wit, but when she gets pregnant by her friend Paulie (Michael Cera, Superbad), Juno finds herself unwilling to terminate the pregnancy. When she chooses a couple who place a classified ad looking to adopt, Juno gets drawn further into their lives than she anticipated. But Juno is much more than its plot; the stylized dialogue (by screenwriter Diablo Cody) seems forced at first, but soon creates a richly textured world, greatly aided by superb performances by Page, Cera, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman as the prospective parents, and J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man) and Allison Janney as Juno's father and stepmother. Director Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking) deftly keeps the movie from slipping into easy, shallow sarcasm or foundering in sentimentality. The result is smarter and funnier than you might expect from the subject matter, and warmer and more touching than you might expect from the cocky attitude. Page's performance is deceptively simple; she never asks the audience to love her, yet she effortlessly carries a movie in which she's in almost every scene. That's star power. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Juno is Boss!!!!Here is one of the smartest, hilarious movies of the year. The basic plotline: A smart-mouthed, 16-year-old girl gets pregnant by her geeky, adorable friend. She goes through a few pregnancy tests, calls up her friend to share her burden, frets for a moment and then bravely takes on the role of being a pregnant high schooler. Although, the ultimate theme of this film is a teenager dealing with pregnancy, it has a larger theme of the this incredible girl discovering life and love along ... Read More Rating: - I get by with a little help from my friends....Life is messy and Juno needs help, not judgement. She made some bad choices (pre-marital sex) and got pregnant. This story of her trials and tribulations as a pregnant teenager would be great for discussion(s)/debate(s) for a high school health class. I love that it promotes family and pro-life. I purchased this movie along with the soundtrack and I love them both. Rating: - Terrifically hip, heartfelt and well-acted. . . Ellen Page is devastatingly funny and mesmerizing in the title role of a teenage misfit who suddenly finds herself in the unenviable state of pregnancy. The plot of this poignant, coming-of-age comedy revolves around Juno's quest to find the right couple to adopt her unborn child. Although Juno's eventual choice of a young well-to-do couple notably contrasts with her own lower middle-class existence, director Jason Reitman has a light touch that feels respectful and true to every one of the characters ... Read More Rating: - An overrated sensitive urban fable but also a tough gaze about the demolished affective adult relationships !At first sight it would seem we are in front an amusing portrait about an irreverent girl who has been pregnant by his immature boyfriend a teenager who is really much more worried about a competence, absolutely unaware about the next role he should keep in mind in the next months to come. On the other hand the stoic attitude of this smart little woman about the way she regards the affectively broken universe adult environment that surrounds her. Her parents are divorced an each one lives with ... Read More Rating: - Intelligent, Entertaining, and SweetFirst off, I'm going to agree with the other reviewers who said that some of the opening scenes are pretty awkwardly written. That being said, "Juno" is a very well-done movie definetly worth watching. Ellen Paige breathes so much life into her unique character, a confident wierdo who's also very intelligent and complex, and there is no doubt you'll fall in love with her soon after meeting her. In fact, most of the characters are very well crafted, with the exception of maybe two, who are added for comedic effect ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
