Goofs for
Juno (2007) More at IMDbPro »

• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Juno is talking to Leah on the phone, she says, "It's Morgan Freeman. I was wondering if you had any bones that need collecting." Morgan Freeman wasn't in The Bone Collector (1999).
  
  
• Continuity: As Juno and Leah sit in the trophy case talking, the amount of food on Juno's shirt changes.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Bleeker is talking to Juno in the hallway at school while holding a box of donut holes, the box changes positions in his hands every time the angle changes. In his DVD commentary, director Jason Reitman explains that this was an intentional cheat (one that irked his script supervisor!) to keep the donut holes visible through the box in both camera angles.
  
  

• Errors in geography: When Juno and Leah are at the mall, a Rogers Communications kiosk can be clearly seen in the background. The film takes place in Minnesota; Rogers Communications is a Canadian cable company, with no locations in the United States.

• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Juno explains that her name comes from the wife of the Greek god Zeus. In fact, Zeus's wife (also his sister) was Hera. Juno was the wife (and sister) of the Roman god Jupiter.
  
  
• Factual errors: When Juno takes the pregnancy test at the store she opens the box and there is no inner wrapping, no directions, nothing. She just opens the box and there it is.

• Errors in geography: A "Peoples Jewelers" store is visible in the mall. This is a Canadian chain.
  
  
• Errors in geography: In the scene where Juno pulls the van off the highway, mountains can be seen in the background of the long shot. There are no substantial mountain ranges in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

• Revealing mistakes: When Juno/Vanessa's baby boy is picked up by the nurse, it is taken out of a baby box marked: "I'm a girl."
  
  
• Errors in geography: The bottle of Sunny D Juno is drinking in the opening is the type of bottle found in Canada with a rectangular shape rather than the circular shaped bottles found in the US, and the size is marked on the bottle in liters instead of ounces like the US bottles.
  
  
• Factual errors: At the end of the movie, the words 'SUMMER' are superimposed over the scenes which clearly show many many spring blossoms on the trees.

• Continuity: When Juno turns out of the way to cry, there's a freight train moving along the highway at the beginning of the scene. And in the end of it, when Juno drives off, the box-freight cars keep showing up. But in-between, during the shots inside Juno's car, the train is gone, and you can only see the field through the driver's window.
  
  
• Continuity: When Juno goes to visit Mark for the first time, she is wearing a skirt over her jeans, when she returns home and has the conversation with Brenda about marital boundaries, the skirt is gone. Immediately after, the movie shows Juno going to visit Bleaker and shows her taking off her skirt in the car before she goes up to his front door.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Juno goes to the track to tell Paulie that she is in love with him he asks if she was the one who left the orange Tic-Tacs in his mailbox and why she did it. She replies that it is because they are his favorite and you can never have enough of your favorite one calorie breath mints. Tic-Tacs actually have one and half calories or more, with Orange Tic-Tacs having about 2.5 calories.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When we see Vanessa readying her house for Juno she's hanging up three towels; one with an L, for their last name, and two with J's. Neither of them have J names in the film (but the actors names are Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman.)

• Factual errors: In Mark and Vanessa's PennySaver ad, the area code is listed as 320 for St. Cloud, MN. But every other ad lists the 310 area code, which is Santa Monica, CA.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Juno says "...and always smells like methylmethacrylate..." (according to the script.) She pronounces it "methyl methacralyte". Methyl methacralyte isn't a real chemical compound. Methyl methacrylate is used to make plastics, like plexiglas or PVC. Methyl acrylate is a chemical compound used to make nail lacquer.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Juno goes to visit Mark and Vanessa to give them the ultrasound photo, Mark tells Juno that Vanessa is working late to accumulate time-off for when the baby comes. As there is snow on the ground, it is clearly winter. However, when Vanessa comes home, it is still light outside. Minnesota in the winter is dark around 4pm.
  
  
• Continuity: When Juno and her Dad first visit Mark and his wife, the view from outside the front door shows the Dad wearing a brown baseball cap. When the door is opened the view from inside the house shows the Dad with the cap in his hand. When they leave together a little while later the Dad is holding a black baseball cap, not brown.
  
  
• Continuity: The bathroom key the convenience store clerk holds moves between shots.

• Continuity: When Juno is at Women Now to get an abortion the jar on the desk holding condoms first appears that all the condoms are purple. Then when the shot changes to behind the desk, some yellow and blue condoms can also be seen in the jar. Then the shot changes back to next to Juno and the jar is back to all purple condoms.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Juno is laying on her front windscreen at night, the reflection of the camera is visible in the window as it pans down to her in shot.

• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In one scene when the track team is running on the track they're running the wrong way.
  
  

• Continuity: SPOILER: After Juno leaves the Loring couple after Mark discloses that he doesn't want a child, a compass is visible hanging from the windshield of the Previa van. In the next shot the compass is gone.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): SPOILER: Mark suggests that he and Vanessa use the same lawyer for a collaborative divorce. While they got it right that collaborative divorce is non-adversarial, each participant must have their own lawyer in collaborative law.
