Directed by Academy Award Nominee Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking) and featuring an all-star ensemble cast led by Best Actress Oscar Nominee Ellen Page, the Juno DVD is loaded with special features including commentary by Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody, 11 deleted scenes, a gag reel, screen tests and more. Hailed as “the little movie that did” (Entertainment Weekly), the Juno DVD release will be supported by a massive marketing campaign rivaling that of summer blockbusters and will be the first Fox Home Entertainment DVD sold at Starbucks company-operated locations in the U.

Juno is the tale of Juno MacGuff (Oscar nominee Ellen Page), a sarcastic 16-year-old high school junior of suburban Minnesota, who learns at the film’s start that she is now expecting a baby, the result of an encounter with her soft-spoken classmate Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera, Superbad). Juno’s initial instinct is to quietly pursue an abortion. Juno MacGuff is a cool, confident teenager who takes a nine-month detour into adulthood when shes faced with an unplanned pregnancy and sets out to find the perfect parents for her baby. Juno claims she had sex with him because she was bored, but as Paulie says, there were a lot of good shows on T.

Additionally, Juno releases as a two-disc DVD and is also available day-and-date in high-def format on Blu-ray Disc, featuring more hilarious extras and Foxs new Digital Copy, allowing viewers to quickly and easily transfer a digital version of the film to a Mac or Windows-based PC computer and then to select portable video devices including an iPod and/or iPhone.

Juno’s constant snide sarcastic remarks permeate the whole movie especially towards the beginning and despite the burden she must deal with. Not a hilarious, laugh out loud movie, unless you are really into sarcasm, which I’m sure a lot of people are. What starts out with a lot of sarcasm merges into a somewhat heartwarming story, as things don’t go exactly as planned (and a good thing they don’t otherwise this movie would have gone nowhere). It’s difficult to talk about it without giving away spoilers but I will say that the movie does both played fair and managed to take me quite by surprise in its plot maneuvers.

Amazon.com Editorial Reviews

Somewhere between the sharp satire of Election and the rich human comedy of You Can Count On Me lies Juno, a sardonic but ultimately compassionate story of a pregnant teenage girl who wants to give her baby up for adoption.

Social misfit Juno (Ellen Page, Hard Candy, X-Men: The Last Stand) protects herself with a caustic wit, but when she gets pregnant by her friend Paulie (Michael Cera, Superbad), Juno finds herself unwilling to terminate the pregnancy. When she chooses a couple who place a classified ad looking to adopt, Juno gets drawn further into their lives than she anticipated.

But Juno is much more than its plot; the stylized dialogue (by screenwriter Diablo Cody) seems forced at first, but soon creates a richly textured world, greatly aided by superb performances by Page, Cera, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman as the prospective parents, and J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man) and Allison Janney as Juno's father and stepmother. Director Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking) deftly keeps the movie from slipping into easy, shallow sarcasm or foundering in sentimentality.

The result is smarter and funnier than you might expect from the subject matter, and warmer and more touching than you might expect from the cocky attitude. Page's performance is deceptively simple; she never asks the audience to love her, yet she effortlessly carries a movie in which she's in almost every scene. That's star power.
