Much of Juno, however, was based on Cody's own high school experiences: She dated a tic-tac-loving boy similar to Paulie, she was best friends with a cheerleader like Leah, and she used a hamburger phone identical to the one that appears in the film.
Većina filma je, međutim, temeljena na Codynim stvarnim srednjoškolskim iskustvima: hodala je s dečkom koji je volio tic-tac kao Paulie, bila je najbolja prijateljica s navijačicom kao što je Leah, a i koristila je hamburger telefon identičan onome koji se pojavljuje u filmu.
