Smart, witty, and uncontrollably engaging, "Juno" is a wonderful coming-of-age romantic comedy that focuses on the issue of teenage pregnancy.

After considering abortion, Juno abandoned the idea and decides to put up her child in adoption. With the support of her blue-collar father, Juno found a couple named Vanessa (played by Jennifer Garner) and Mark Loring, who is willingly able and ready to adopt the unborn child.
