DVD Reviews of Juno (Single-Disc Edition)
DVD Review: I love, love, love this movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Juno for reasons not only great in number, but reasons that are hard to express.
Firstly, Ellen Page is a likable teen girl who just happens to be pregnant. I can't imagine anyone other than Ellen playing Juno. Juno is a sarcastic, at times dead pan, normal girl who have her freaky quirks. Her sarcasm only hides the depth of emotion that she has, and Juno rarely lets anyone in her inner sanctum. She knows love, pain, both emotionally and physically, has high hopes for her baby, which is why she gives the baby up, and shows the true maturity it takes to raise a child. She knows that there are better things for her baby that she can't give and that there are things she wants for herself that would not be possible if she had a child. She is a child herself, just with a hardened, skewed vision of life.
Secondly, Bleeker is a cute and has an innocence to him that you don't always see in teens in movies. He loves Juno and wants to be there for her but it unsure of how to be and just does what he can to get by in the film but that generally means not sticking up for himself.
Next, I like that the movie looks differently at teen pregnancy. I am not saying that being a pregnant is easy, should be glorified or is a wonderful thing, but it is still a pregnancy, which is considered a blessing and a beautiful thing. Juno shows that it isn't just a have an abortion or "screw up" your life type of situation. People can find blessed miracles in garbage dumps of situations.
I recommend this movie for EVERYONE.
DVD Review: Quirky coming-of-age movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Juno (directed by Jason Reitman) is a sugary romantic teen comedy that also doubles as a coming of age story.
Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) is a hip, quirky teenager that must learn to "deal with things way beyond her maturity level". She becomes pregnant by her best friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera) and enlists the help of her friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby) to search for adoptive parents. They promptly find the seemingly "perfect" couple in the penny saver, Mark and Vanessa Loring (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner). Her father (J.K. Simmons) and stepmother (Allison Janney) are surprisingly (and a little unrealistically supportive.
As she navigates the world of teen pregnancy, she discovers that life does not always work out the way anyone plans it to.
The beginning lines from Rainn Wilson's character are out of place in even Juno's world. This is the only dialogue that seems grossly unrealistic. The rest of the dialogue can be described as eccentric and it is constantly referencing pop culture. Despite this it appears natural to me. The movie makes me accept that this is merely how Juno and her friends speak. This is nothing out of the ordinary in their world.
Page was terrific in her role. She was cynical, hilarious and relatable all at the same time. I honestly wish I viewed life in the way she does. It's one of a kind and not to mention humorous. Cera is once again good at playing awkward. He always succeeds at doing this. His character gives off a quirky, nerdy vibe.
My favorite scenes include the chemistry lab and when Juno is trying to find a couple to adopt her baby. The writing by Diablo Cody and execution from Page, Cera and Thirlby is brilliant.
The indie soundtrack also meshes nicely with the movie. I get the sense that the songs were picked carefully. They add to the overall tone and mood of whatever scene they are in. "A Well Respected Man" by The Kinks is the perfect description of Cera's character.
However, Juno does stray from reality when it shouldn't Her parents barely protest when she announces she is pregnant. The adoptive parents are found in almost a moment's notice and not much is said about her pregnancy at school. She is given looks but nothing else. While I'm not advocating the ostracization of a teenager, I think it's unrealistic for no one in her school to make a negative comment about it.
Overall Juno will please anyone that is OK with the strange dialogue. I think it adds to the movie and makes it incredibly unique. But it also a major part of the movie and may turn some away. So be willing to suspend reality for a couple of hours because Juno's world is similar to ours but also amazingly different.
DVD Review: Juno Movie Review
Summary: 5 Stars
If it seems like life is just too serious lately, take a break and enjoy this light hearted comedy. To add to the fun, the music is new and quirky. You'll find yourself humming it someday and wondering where that tune came from (kinda like George in Seinfeld with Master of the House from Les Miserable). So take a break, laugh again, see this movie.DVD Review: great and on time!

it was in great conditions and was quickly delivered. all I expect when buying a DVD. thanks!DVD Review: Hooray for "Juno".
Summary: 5 Stars
Juno is one of those rare films, like 1996's "Jerry McGuire" which starred Tom Cruise in one of his greater performances, that leaves you feeling good and refreshed after youve seen it, then makes you want to tell someone else to see it, then youll see it again as if you didnt see it already. Its that good. The great Ellen Page (i love her) plays Juno, a cute, hip, at times smart-alecky teen whose life is turned upside down after she discovers shes pregnant by her best friend. I know some people made a slight fuss over this film because they thought it was glorifying teen pregnancy, but i think they totally missed the point. The filmmakers, including director Jason Reitman and first time scriptwriter Diablo Cody, handle this scenario with wit and a sweetness that doesnt seep into annoyance or contrivance, which another filmmaker mightve felt compelled to do.
This is a great film with characters that we totally invest our time and energy with, from J.K. Simmons as Juno's understanding yet firm dad, to Allison Janney as her no-nonsense stepmom, all the way to Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner as the young yuppie couple who want to adopt Juno's baby but have some major issues of their own, to Michael Cera, great as the young, innocent soon to be dad. There is not a bad performance in the bunch, none whatsoever. I saw this film in a theatre and loved it simply because here was a story that didnt have car explosions, shootouts, nasty people screaming foul language at each other....just a nice, original human story with human characters that we all could relate to and sympathize with and who made us laugh, care and root for. Get It.
Description of Juno (Single-Disc Edition)
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.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
