Juno finds her unborn child a perfect set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa (Bateman and Garner), longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the support of her parents (Simmons and Janney) as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.

Directed by Jason Reitman. Minneapolis-based journalist and author Diablo Cody penned the script. Lianne Halfon, Russell Smith and John Malkovich produced along with Mason Novick. Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane of Mandate Pictures are the executive producers.
