Fridge Brilliance

  • Earlier in the movie, Juno mentions her namesake being super mean as well as her husband being a serial cheater. Skip to later in the movie during an argument, when Juno learns Paulie might be taking another girl to prom in order to get laid, angrily confronts him about how just because they did it, doesn't mean they'd get together, despite his feelings, comparing it all to getting married. Paulie replies how he'd never want to be married to her because she'd be "the meanest wife ever". Aside from being the goddess of fertility and childbirth, Juno was also goddess of marriage...and was also known for being extremely vindictive about her divine husband's many affairs.

  • Like her goddess namesake of marriage and fertility, Juno tried to rectify the Loring's marriage when Mark announced that he was walking out on Vanessa. And Juno felt bad like she unintentionally destroyed their marriage and tried to make things right and keep Mark from leaving Vanessa.

  • In the film, Juno drives off in her car and breaks down crying once she makes a stop after Mark hit on her and announced that he was leaving Vanessa. Remember when Juno's own mother left her and her dad and got remarried and had a new family? Mark walking out on Vanessa and their baby may not only bring back the sad repressed memory of Juno's own mother walking out on her, but also that the last thing in the world Jumo would ever want is for her unborn baby to suffer from parental abandonment with his loving adoptive parents like she did too. And when you think about it, Mark is not so different from Juno's biological mother.
