details

• 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 in geography: When Juno and Leah are walking through the mall you can clearly see a Garage Clothing sign, which is a Canadian based clothing store with only 5 locations in the US, none of which are located in Minnesota.
  
  
• Continuity: When Vanessa is feeling Juno's belly at the mall, Juno's hair changes (tucked behind her ear from the front, free from behind).
  
  
• Continuity: While Juno and Bleeker are talking in the hallway near his locker, the shirt on Juno's right shoulder keeps changing position.
  
  
• Errors in geography: The film appears to be set in Minnesota, but there is no city which is south of Stillwater and an hour from St. Cloud.
  
  
• Factual errors: The CD of ‘Mott the Hoople’ that Juno brings to play for Mark actually doesn't have the song "All the Young Dudes" on it, which she proceeds to play.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Juno explains that her name comes from the mythological wife of the Greek god Zeus. In Greek mythology, Zeus' wife's name is Hera. Juno is the wife of the Jupiter - the Roman mythological equivalent of Zeus.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Boom mic visible: When Juno is talking to Leah on the bench, the boom is visible in the reflection of her sunglasses.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Juno says that she has heard that Snow Peak Peach flavored Boone's Farm is the best type, yet there is no such thing. There is Snow Creek Berry and Sun Peak Peach, but not Snow Peak Peach.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Mark says that Mott The Hoople's "All The Young Dudes" was made before he was born. He indicated he graduated in 1988, which would put his birthdate between 1969 and 1971. All The Young Dudes was released in 1972.
  
  

• 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.
