Juno is a 2007 comedy-drama film directed by Jason Reitman and written by Diablo Cody. Ellen Page stars as the title character, a sharp-tongued teenager confronting an unplanned pregnancy. Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman also star.
The film earned overwhelmingly positive reviews, making many critics' top ten lists for 2007. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and received three other Oscar nominations. A financial success, Juno made back its budget of $6.5 million in only 20 days, 19 of which the film was in limited release, and it has gone on to make more than 21 times that amount in North America alone.
