Elliot Page and Michael Cera star as precocious teen Juno MacGuff and track-shorted Paulie Bleeker in Juno, a coming-of-age tale that won the 2008 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Pregnant Juno selects a failed rockstar and his wife to adopt her unborn child, but things take an unexpected turn when she becomes more than just the family's birth mother.
