Every character in Juno talks like they have a stand-up set at nine. The teens, the parents, the clerk at the store, all of them armed with a polished one-liner, and early on it’s a lot. Then the movie earns it. Elliot Page makes Juno’s mouth a shield, and you can see the scared kid behind it. Michael Cera does his quiet, awkward Michael Cera thing in tiny track shorts and it works. J. K. Simmons and Allison Janney are the parents everybody wishes they had. The sneaky best part is Jennifer Garner, who starts as a punchline and ends up as the heart of the whole movie. $232.4 million worldwide on a reported $7.5 million budget is a crazy return for a film whose most famous prop is a phone shaped like a burger. A 7.7 because once the jokes calm down, the feelings land hard. $323 says you hear the soundtrack once and spend the night looking up indie bands.
What works: Elliot Page’s sharp, vulnerable lead, J. K. Simmons and Allison Janney as great parents, and a late turn from Jennifer Garner.
What doesn’t: The dialogue is so stuffed with quips early on that every character sounds like the same screenwriter.
Who it’s for: Anyone who survived high school by being the funniest person in the room.
Spoilers
Mark decides he isn’t ready to be a dad and leaves Vanessa, but Juno gives the baby to Vanessa anyway. Juno and Paulie end up together, playing guitar on the front steps.
Juno MacGuff (Elliot Page) is a sixteen-year-old in small-town Minnesota with a sharp tongue and a big surprise: she is pregnant, and her friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera) is the dad. With help from her best friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby), she decides on adoption and finds a couple in the local classifieds, Mark (Jason Bateman) and Vanessa Loring (Jennifer Garner). Her dad Mac (J. K. Simmons) and stepmom Bren (Allison Janney) take the news better than anyone expected. Then come nine months of school hallways and awkward visits. Jason Reitman directs. Ninety-six minutes, one hamburger phone.
Anyone who keeps orange Tic Tacs in the glove box. Bring a slushie.
