1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   Overall a quirky comedy, set apart from the hackneyed films out this season by its fresh screenplay and original plot lines.

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   Full of talent, from Hollywood pros Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman, to rising star Michael Cera, to newcomer and uber-talented discovery, Ellen Page.

5. Male Stars Great 4.0

   Bateman and Cera, although did not have any interaction onscreen, have worked together in the past on the TV show, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. Cera was a phenomenal choice to play Paulie Bleeker, the unsuspecting Father.

6. Female Stars Great 4.0

   Ellen Page’s title character, Juno, is wiity and humorously sarcastic. Great interpretation of the role.

7. Female Costars Great 4.0

8. Male Costars Great 4.0

    Risqué 1.6

    Besides the fact that it’s a film about a sixteen year old, unwed girl getting knocked up, the film is mild. Leaves much t othe imagination, which is a good thing.
