(1 - 50) of 68 OFCS Rating: 87% Fresh Page   12   > Next "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."   musicOMH.com   Anton Bitel C- "If this is where Indie comedy is headed, I guess I should find some other shenanigans to get into. Right, homeskillet?"   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 4/5 "Juno is a snarky afterschool special for the Pinkberry crowd."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron D- "The artificiality of this beast is suffocating, choking itself into a stupor of unlikable characters, synthetic emotions, and overtly precious direction. "Juno" is pregnant alright: with overwrought execution and pedestrian intentions."   DVDTalk.com   Brian Orndorf 4/5 "Witty and honest."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin A- "It isn't often that a romantic comedy comes along with as much originality, vitality and biting satire as screenwriter Diablo Cody's wickedly funny Juno."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 71/100 "Skin-deep treatment of teen pregnancy, but keep your eyes on Ellen Page; she's worth the price of admission."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 4/5 "A triumphant conclusion to the unplanned pregnancy trilogy."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 1/5 "What a hideous piece of faux-hipster crap."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 3.5/4 "Screenwriter Cody's wit and imagination are seemingly endless."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 3/4 "...an impressive step forward for director Jason Reitman..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "Totally solid teen comedy."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "'Juno' is on some counts unrealistic and does not probe deeply, but it has undeniable charm."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 3/4 "Light on plot but plentiful in moments of keen human observation, Juno is authentic and, oh, so winning."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 4/5 "Una comedia fresca, inteligente y tierna que aborda temas delicados de manera desdramatizada e irónica. Excelente elenco (empezando por la increíble Ellen Page) y banda sonora."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio A- "One of the year's snappiest, snarkiest, most quotable comedies."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 4/4 "Has all the rhythms that made films like Little Miss Sunshine and Garden State so beloved by audiences and critics alike, but invents its own rhyme to buck familiarity thanks to its brilliantly funny and exceptionally wise screenplay by Diablo Cody."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B "I hope this one makes a few careers."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B "I hope this one makes a few careers."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 4/5 "A grounded, sweet, funny, and excellent dramedy about smart teenagers and the world they live in that doesn't always make sense..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 3/4 "Just when one is about to write off Diablo Cody's much-praised screenplay as less than the sum of its ornate quips, a scene will be flipped in an unexpected direction and a hidden vein of emotion suddenly struck."   Slant Magazine   Fernando F. Croce 3/4 "Cunningly perceptive and hip in its irresistible skepticism about the comforts and uncertainties of love, Juno is enchantingly bright and breezy in its effecting resonance."   World Voice News   Frank Ochieng B+ "Almost impudently wry and sassy but with an unexpected vein of seriousness and poignancy, this is a crowd-pleaser of the best sort."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "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."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B- "A quirky comic indie with a too-too-clever screenplay, dialogue that seems tailored to the club-kid generation, and a sentimental streak a mile wide."   Modern Fabulousity   Gabriel Shanks C+ "Isn't it time the Gilmore Girls crowd had a movie about teen pregnancy to feel good about and call their own?"   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 3.5/4 "Juno, directed by Jason Reitman, is smart, witty, and engaging -- three ingredients that, when applied to any film, comprise a recipe for success."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "[Page] plays each moment without ego and with total candor, and that's ultimately the secret to Juno's success."   Cinema Writer   Jay Antani 3/4 "Sweet, sassy, and satisfying."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "Juno turns out to be about hope and understanding. Everyone's heart is in the right place here, and maybe that's why the movie wins out."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 33/100 "That Juno has been heralded for its realistic portrayal of a teen girl's point of view demonstrates how poorly the demographic has been represented on screen."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 7/10 "Coupled with the witty script, Page's terrific performance, and a quirkily fun soundtrack, Reitman would really have to try hard to mess things up. Thankfully he doesn't, and the result is an enjoyable, highly entertaining, and even occasionally touching"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 4/4 "What's sure to be the breakout indie hit of 2007 (and deservedly so) establishes the voice of screenwriter Diablo Cody and the career of young actress Ellen Page."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 3.5/4 "She is a wonderful character in her own right. I'd watch a movie about her going to the movies. But Cody's conviction is to get Juno pregnant so I'll watch a movie about that."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 5/5 "Only "quirky" in that it is so very sincere...please go see it."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery "If Juno's charms win out in the end, it isn't without a slight residue of uncertainty suggesting we've just had the latest Napoleon Dynamite clone foisted upon us."   UGO   Keith Uhlich 4.0/4.0 "... definitely one of the better films this year thanks to Page and Reitman, and it'll be hard to wait and see what this actress and this director pull out of their hats next."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 5/5 "The fact that the film deals with teenage pregnancy - and doesn't preach at all - is a feat of filmmaking."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 5/5 "This might seem like odd material for a comedy, but trust me, Cody's script is pure gold -- expect big things in the future from this first-time screenwriter."   Cinematical   Kim Voynar C+ "...an immature, if fitfully entertaining work."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "First-time screenwriter Cody Diablo's gently comic, different-for-girls tale of a pregnant, hyper-verbal teenager is the distaff answer to the testosterone-fueled hijinks of movies like Knocked Up and Superbad."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 4/4 "Could have played up the subversive, satirical possibilities of the scenario, but [Diablo Cody's] first script is too smart, her affection for her characters too strong, to mistreat the story and its inhabitants so."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 6/10 "It is a little disquieting that the film takes things as lightly as it does and the ending just does not feel sufficient to the situation."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "[A] heightened, brightened, skip-a-dee-doo-dah glide through one of life's big goalposts: not so much growing up but growing out. And I don't mean bellywise, either..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/5 "Jason Reitman is shaping up to be quite the talented filmmaker. Just as he proved with his previous effort, Thank You for Smoking, the merging of comedic elements never offset the dramatic side."   Bronsonfive   Michael Ferraro 3.5/5 "Much of the dialogue sparkles with wit and humanity."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "Definitely one of my favorite films of the last five years."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "Cody's script is filled with smart, funny, very specific lines that define the characters and tell the story."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow C- "An obnoxious fantasy vision of teendom slathered in self-satisfied snark."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 4/5 "Seria fantástico se as pessoas conversassem, em seu dia-a-dia, como os personagens de Juno, construindo diálogos que combinam uma estrutura elegante com um conteúdo rico em referências e um humor cortante e preciso."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca  (1 - 50) of 68 OFCS Rating: 87% Fresh Page   12   > Next
