Sixteen years old, unexpectedly pregnant, and armed with a dry sense of humor she uses to keep everyone at a distance, Juno MacGuff decides she'll handle this her own way.
What is Juno about?
Rather than panic, Juno treats her pregnancy like a logistics problem she can solve with enough sarcasm and a phone book. She settles on adoption and picks a suburban couple from the classifieds herself, then spends the following months navigating her best friend, the baby's father, her own bewildered parents, and the adoptive couple she's chosen, all while trying to keep her usual deadpan armor intact. What starts as a straightforward plan gets complicated as the people around her turn out to be messier, and more human, than the tidy arrangement she pictured. The film follows her through the school year that pregnancy has upended, watching her hold onto her sense of humor even as the adults in her life reveal that they don't have this figured out any better than she does.
About the cast
Elliot Page carries the film as Juno, opposite Michael Cera as the baby's father. Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman play the couple hoping to adopt, with Allison Janney and J.K. Simmons as Juno's stepmother and father, and Olivia Thirlby as her closest friend.
Context & significance
Jason Reitman directed the film from a script by Diablo Cody, and its mix of rapid, stylized dialogue with an unglamorous teenage-pregnancy premise made it a breakout of the 2007 award season, earning attention for a comedy built around a subject most films in the genre avoided outright. Its soundtrack of understated indie-folk tracks became closely associated with the film's identity at the time.
