Diablo Cody, in writing from the point-of-view of teenagers, achieves where most other teenage films fail--she drops the violent, drug-ladened culture of teen angst to the inconceivable extreme for a much more heartfelt, sincere portrayal of teenagers with regard to pregnancy. The characters in "Juno" face adult problems with acute awareness and matured sensibilities. And that it's written, in utmost originality during the film's first ten minutes, in today's teenage slang gives the film even more of a sense of its own individuality, that it's not trying to be anything more than a film about average, everyday teenagers you'd encounter anywhere at any moment.
Ellen Page is excellent as the title character, and Michael Cera continues his climb atop the teen comedy scene with uncanny timing and wit. Jason Bateman nails his role as a father-to-be searching to recapture his own teenage existence when befriending Juno, and Jennifer Garner, his wife in the film, as an obsessive mom-in-waiting, who wants absolutely everything to be right once the child is born and adopted by her.
All-in-all, this is a great film worthy of purchase. It takes its viewers to places no other teenage film has, and will most assuredly be a blueprint to future teen-based films for years to come.
What's great about it: Heavy on modern slang language--adds a real almost natural flow to the film, Great cast, Awesome script
What's not so great: Slang, while it adds spirit to the film, also takes away from it, at times exceedingly off-the-wall(ie "honest to blog")

this movie is a witty, fun tale of the not-so-cool kids in high school. The dry humor and hilarious one liners make you keep watching. It;s even better the second time around.
What's great about it: this movie has awesome one liners

A screenplay as witty as Diablo Cody's for "Juno" is a rarity -- one of those infrequent occasions when I felt genuine joy when an Oscar was awarded. This, as well as "Lars and the Real Girl," were among my favorite films of 2007.
