47 free Juno trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
This Juno trivia quiz covers the 2007 film from the SunnyD in the opening titles to the two guitars on the porch at the end. It asks about the plot in Elk River, Minnesota, the Pennysaver ad, Mark and Vanessa Loring's Saint Cloud house, the note on the porch, Paulie's track meet, and the cast: Elliot Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Allison Janney and J. K. Simmons. It also digs into how the film was made: Diablo Cody writing the script in seven weeks at a Starbucks inside a Target, Jason Reitman's screen test on a Panavision stage, Vancouver standing in for Minnesota, the fake leaves and the real snow, Kimya Dawson's 120-song care package, the rotoscoped title sequence, and the hamburger phones Fox Searchlight sent to critics. About a third of the questions are easy for anyone who has seen it, a third are medium, and the rest are for people who know which DJ plays the chemistry teacher. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia and the production sources it cites, and each question carries the sentence that establishes it. If you think one is wrong, use the report button and we will look again.

Q 03What does Juno shout to her father at the moment her waters break?

Q 06Where does Juno find the adoptive couple?

Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner took a cut in her usual pay to play Vanessa Loring so the film could stay within its small budget. "Some things you do purely for the heart," she said.

He has a track meet
Q 21Which novelty item, like one the screenwriter owned as a teenager, does Juno use to phone the clinic?

John Malkovich and his two partners named Mr. Mudd after a convicted murderer who had worked as his driver during a film shoot in Thailand.

Q 17Juno's director cast Elliot Page after admiring the actor's performance in which 2005 thriller?
Hard Candy
Hard Candy had so impressed the director that he pictured its star the first time he read the script; he offered the part in person on another film's set and says he never considered another actor.
Q 18Which actor, handed Juno's script with no part named, said he would happily have played the teacher with no lines?
J. K. Simmons
J. K. Simmons was always meant to play Mac, Juno's father, but the director kept that to himself when he handed over the script, leaving him to hope for any part at all.
Q 19Juno's script was largely written at a café table inside which chain store in suburban Minnesota?
Target
Target, in the suburb of Crystal: the writer would commandeer the café table nearest the power outlet with a pumpkin latte, and wander off to look at shoes when the words dried up.
Q 20What is the title of the memoir Juno's screenwriter published about her year working in strip clubs?
Candy Girl
Candy Girl came first: the producer who had landed her that book deal then asked for a sample script to show the studios, and the sample turned out to be Juno.

Q 27Which children's song by Barry Louis Polisar plays over Juno's animated opening titles?

Q 28Which Kinks song features on the Juno soundtrack?
A Well Respected Man
"A Well Respected Man" came out of a seaside holiday on which a wealthy hotel guest recognised Ray Davies and pressed him to play golf; he took offence and wrote the satire.

Q 30Juno tells Mark that her father named her after the wife of which god?
Zeus
Zeus is the god she names, adding that he had other lovers but only one wife; strictly she has mixed her myths, since Juno is the Roman name for the goddess the Greeks called Hera.
