I love Brenda in this movie. She's such a sweet, supportive step-mom. Actually, all the characters in this movie are great. This was such a good movie - sort of tragic, sort of funny but an overall very good film!

[Arthus]

These parents took it very well. Obviously they were surprised, a little bit annoyed even in the dad’s case, but they weren’t hostile. And in the end they even decided to help her.

“He’s actually great in uh...chair” 😂 I died

This was the most chill role J.K. Simmons I've ever seen. I mean, a father who realized his teenage daughter is pregnant and is impressed by her ability to take responsibility? That's boss.

Interesting how the parents, J.K. Simmons & Allison Janney; who are playing caring and supportive parents in this; later win Oscars for playing harsh and abusive parents/role models

[cosmokramer]

The dad was hoping Juno said she got pictures of Spider-Man

[Originella]

Juno: "And, know you, Paulie is actually great, in uh..."
Mac: "Okay."
Juno: "In chair."

"I don't really know what kind of girl I am."
Man, if THAT isn't the understatement of the 20th century.

I love the fact that they didn't get mad and yell at her but they were shocked and handled it in a very good way

[SweetLolita]

“ I haven’t taken a dump since “

lol 😂 that’s the line that gets me

[gahishgahba]

Lol her parents are cool about it, if I was in that situation and I tell my parents I got a girl pregnant then they would cut me out of the will and kick me out of the house.

[KETrust]

I wish jk Simmons and Allison Janney could be my parents

[giiingeeer]

She got nominated for an Oscar and the ones who ended up getting one were her parents 😂

[IsaacAbunu]

Her dad and stepmom are actually really supportive.

[eatingcookieswithpeanutbutter]

the last line always feels sad "I thought you were the kind of girl who knew when to say when"

[knowledgegathererdraftsave]

I didn’t even know you were sexually active.

[nosracymmit]

Oh damn, the line "I don't know what kind of girl I am" hits so differently now that Elliot is living his authentic life. I wonder what was behind his delivery when playing Juno at that moment?

[FilmSureelist]

This is how every parent should be in this kind of situation. I know many people who’s parents shamed them.

[Stoneman]

Allison Janney and JK Simmons have always been those supporting actors who make a make in every role they’re in, big or small. And they would eventually go on to win Oscars.

“I don’t really know what kind of girl I am.”

Said a mouthful there.
