Juno is an upcoming 2007 comedy film expected to be released in December 2007.
The film is being distributed by Fox Searchlight, and is being released in select theaters on December 5, 2007.
Juno opened to rave reviews at the Telluride Film Festival and is being called one of the top movies of the Toronto International Film Festival, where it was awarded the first runner-up for the Cadillac People's Choice Award.
Plot
Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) is a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker (Michael Cera). With the help of her best friend, Leah (Olivia Thirlby), Juno finds her unborn child a “perfect” set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa Loring (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her father and stepmother (J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney) as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.

Trivia
- Songs used in trailer are "Anyone Else But You" by The Moldy Peaches and "All the Young Dudes" by Mott the Hoople. There is also an instrumental version of Kimya Dawson's "I Like Giants".
- Despite having previously starred as father and son on Arrested Development, Michael Cera and Jason Bateman do not share any scenes in the movie.
- This movie has no correlation to a similarly-titled Korean movie Jeni, Juno, which also deals with the subject of an unplanned teen pregnancy. The films are decidedly unsimilar in terms of characterization and tone, and while the Korean film is mainly about the pregnancy, "Juno" primarily deals with the adoption of Juno's unborn baby, and the relationship she has with the adoptive parents; the pregnancy is essentially a McGuffin. Writer Diablo Cody points out on her blog that the film was originally titled "Junebug," which ended up being the title of another 2005 film.
- Awarded at Roma Film festival as best movie.
