* AwardSnub: Despite how acclaimed Creator/MarionCotillard's performance in ''Film/LaVieEnRose'' is, there was genuine upset over Elliot Page (then-Ellen Page) not winning the Actress Academy Award instead.

* OnceOriginalNowOverdone: The film came out at the perfect time, managing to fully capitalise on such "groundbreaking" elements as: a non-patronising take on teen pregnancy, quirky dialogues and characters, {{hipster}}s just popping up in public perception (thus seen as funny weirdos rather than their later status as obnoxious try-hards), the writer being a non-professional, with somewhat controversial past. Sounds like a long list of tiresome cliches from every single indie movie made around the same period? This one was the first, and all of those things were shockingly fresh. Even Creator/MichaelCera playing firmly within his infamous {{Typecasting}} wasn't a typecast ''yet''.

** Also, could it be that Vanessa acts so uptight around Juno because she does not want to keep her hopes up? After all, the last time she tried to adopt, the mother changed her mind.

Removed 'Ron The Death Eater' usage - see discussion, use of the trope here seems to justifying him potentially being attracted to a minor.


* RonTheDeathEater: Fans of the movie see Mark as an irredeemable sleazebag for refusing to grow up, acting like a teenager, and flirting with minors like Juno.

** Mark showing Juno an old comic about a pregnant ninja/samurai, mentioning that he'd gotten it while on tour with his band many years before. While Juno takes this as a comforting thing, it becomes this if you read between the lines and realise Mark might be admitting to being a pregnancy fetishist, and is using this to flirt with her.

How is this relevant? That's a completely different movie.


** Vanessa seems to be a motherly type. She has taken the role in her relationship with Mark as an overbearing parent who decides what's best for her child. One wonders if it will translate to her being an actual mother. Some FridgeHorror to think about if one has seen Creator/JenniferGarner in that other Creator/JasonReitman movie, where she plays an overprotective mother who ends up driving a teen boy to suicide for the crime of talking to her daughter.
** Is Juno truly happy with giving her son up to Vanessa? Is Vanessa up to the task of raising him?

Added DiffLines:

** Vanessa only wants to become a mother to a child, but both troubles from conceiving/adopting and her husband Mark keep her from that goal. Even if she has questionable ideals and standards, one can not help but feel bad for the fact that it took her so long to complete what some people would consider such a simple goal.
** Mark, on the other hand, has to deal with a highly sophisticated wife while he is a man who has interests similar to a teen's, wants to be a rockstar, and shows little to no desire for children. For that reason, some people understand Mark's decision to leave Vanessa as well as his anger when Vanessa complained about his mindset.
