I haven't, but I've been planning to.
Oprah was promoting it not too long ago. I question what she promotes anymore.
I use to read from her book list, years ago. The books she chose weren't really to my liking, but I read them anyway. I've been wondering if the movie was somewhat like the books she promotes.

gims, my son who is a film student, told us about it when he was home on Christmas break. At that time it was only in a few theaters and was gaining steam. He thought it was something Ross and I would like. It was a very low budgeted film that is doing extremely well.

This is from their site:
Juno
Copyright © 2007 Fox Searchlight Pictures

JUNO stars Ellen Page as the title character, a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker (Michael Cera). With the help of her hot best friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby), Juno finds her unborn child a “perfect” set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents (JK Simmons and Allison Janney) as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.

hmmm, for some reason, I don't care for Jennifer Garner.
Thanks for the info, tho... no wonder my daughter wouldn't let me take my granddaughters... it's about a pregnant teen.
I heard or read that the script was written by a novice, her first work, and it only took a couple of hours or days.
That's really why I wanted to see it.

summers, I saw it and loved it too. The people were so very real. Loved the dialogue. I'll have to rent it becasue my daughter wanted to see it and I don't think she ever did. I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

MA, there's nothing better than watching something that was filmed in your town. It's so much fun to recognize all the local places.
