Juno

a while ago, i watched the movie "Juno" starring ellen page.

i(and also my classmate) thought that it was somehow based from a korean movie, "jenny, juno". but we were wrong. here's something i found,

"Unbeknownst to me, we had another spiritual cousin out there, a Korean movie called "Jenny, Juno", This time, the cousinry goes one step further and the movie is about – seriously – a pregnant teenager and her cute, sweet boyfriend. (The guy character is named Juno, not the girl.) There's no adoption subplot and apparently the film is otherwise dissimilar to mine, but how fucked up is that? I bring this up because a journalist drilled me about it recently – awkward! – and also because I saw someone on our IMDb board wondering if Juno was a remake of the K-flick. So for the record, 1.) it isn't a remake 2.) I haven't seen 'Jenny, Juno,' though I want to now, and 3.) I don't think anyone would even bat an eye about this if my film was called Jenny. The name Juno is just so darned distinctive that confusion is inevitable."

i took this from, of course, wikipedia.org. it was a statement made by the screenwriter, diablo cody.

ok here's the drill, lots of copy-and-paste-ing from wikipedia

Produced with a modest budget of $6.5 million, Juno grossed $126,277,446 in the U.S. and $29,974,137 in other territories for a total worldwide gross of $156,251,583 as of February 23, 2008. The movie benefited from an extremely positive critical reception; as of January 19, 2008 on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 164 reviews. On Metacritic, the film had an average score of 81 out of 100, based on 37 reviews. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four stars and called it "just about the best movie of the year. [...] Has there been a better performance this year than Ellen Page's creation of Juno? I don't think so." Entertainment magazine Paste also named Juno the best film of 2007, in its year-end "Signs of Life" issue.

The film received nominations for four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress for Ellen Page. It won best Original Screenplay.

Along with Knocked Up and Waitress, Juno has been cited as possibly having a pro-life theme, although the main star of the movie denies the existence of such a theme.

the movie won several awards, including best original screenplay in the 80th academy awards. the movie was also nominated for other awards.
