Fails the anti-Bechdel test. No two men talk about anything other than a woman.

Juno has plenty of arguments with her step-mother, and a discussion about prenatal stuff.

No question, this is a clear and easy pass to the Bechdel test. Which just goes to show that a film can pass the Bechdel test, be clearly pro-choice, have a female protagonist and even relegated men to supporting roles and still be a total feminism fail. This movie dishonors the humanity to single mothers by chance and by choice, by birth and adoption and that of their children.

I think Rose and I haven't seen the same movie. "Dishonor". You have a problem in your mind or something. This movie does not dishonor anyone. This movie is not feminist or antifeminist. It's just a movie. It just tells the story of someone in particular. The movie is not trying to tell you what to do or how is every pregnant teenage girl or how is every adoption process. It's just Juno. If you dislike Juno or any other character it's ok, but there's no dishonor, it's only in your mind.

Manuel disagreed with the rating and said:
This movie no longer passes the Bechdel test after Elliot Pages coming out.

The character of Juno is still a female even if Elliot Page identifies as a male.

manuel, elliot is male, juno is female, just because elliot is transgender, doesnt mean all of the characters hes previsously played are also trans. it would still pass if the character was trans too
