Along with ''[[Knocked Up]]'' and ''[[Waitress (2007 film)|Waitress]]'', two other 2007 films about women facing unplanned pregnancies, ''Juno'' was interpreted by some critics as having an [[anti-abortion]] theme. Ann Hulbert of ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'' magazine believed that ''Juno'' "[undercut] both pro-life and pro-choice purism."<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.slate.com/id/2180275 |title=Juno and the Culture Wars |access-date=April 5, 2008 |author=Hulbert, Ann |date=December 18, 2007 |magazine=Slate}}</ref> Jeff Dawson of ''[[The Sunday Times]]'' believed that the film was inevitably placed in the "unwanted pregnancy subgenre" with ''Knocked Up'' and ''Waitress'' due to its subject matter but thought that its interpretation as an anti-abortion film only "muddied the waters".<ref name=times/> [[Hadley Freeman]] of ''[[The Guardian]]'' criticized ''Juno'' for "complet[ing] a hat-trick of American comedies in the past 12 months that present abortion as unreasonable, or even unthinkable—a telling social sign", though she noted, "I don't believe any of these films is consciously designed to be anti-abortion propaganda."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/jan/28/healthandwellbeing.film |title=A choice that films ignore |access-date=April 5, 2008 |author=Freeman, Hadley |date=January 28, 2008 |newspaper=The Guardian |author-link=Hadley Freeman}}</ref> [[A.

Other critics labeled ''Juno'' as [[feminist]] because of its portrayal of Juno as a confident and intelligent teenage girl.

The film was set out in a sequence of the year's seasons, which, Reitman said, "really resonated with me when I read it, because they mirror the three trimesters of Juno's pregnancy." Because filming took place over only 30 days, fake flora was used to give the impression of different seasons while other flora was edited in post-production. Brown leaves were [[digital compositing|composited]] onto a fake tree outside Juno's house and cherry blossom trees outside Leah's house were touched up in a lighter shade of pink to depict autumn; a fan was used to blow leaves around in some scenes as if the leaves were falling from trees. Fake flowers were used in front of Paulie's house at the end of the film to give the impression of summer.<ref name=dvd/> Reitman used different colors to inform character, such as the burgundy and gold Dancing Elk High School track uniforms and an early scene with Juno in a red hooded jacket "walking through a world of somber greens and browns."
Cody was impressed with the production design team's creation of the set from only a few sentences in her script, calling Juno's bedroom "a very emotional set for [me] because it reminded me so much of my own little habitat when I was a teenager."<ref name=DCsoon>{{cite web |url=https://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=40048 |title=Juno Screenwriter Diablo Cody |access-date=April 16, 2008 |author=Douglas, Edward |date=December 13, 2007 |publisher=ComingSoon.net |archive-date=April 9, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080409012902/http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=40048 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The walls of Juno's room are covered with posters of bands, while Leah's room includes a mural of older men she finds attractive and Paulie's room is overly childlike to indicate his innocence.<ref name=dvd/> [[Production designer]] Steve Saklad designed Mark and Vanessa's house with the assumption that "Vanessa has probably read every home magazine and tried to copy what's in them as best she could."
