Can't find age recommendation and review for JUNO in normal spots- can you help. 12 year old daughter wants to see it.

The review of Juno is here. I recommend it for mature high-schoolers due to the material (described in the review), but you may find that it is a valuable movie to share with your 12-year-old as a way to initiate some important conversations about choices and consequences. Let me know if you need any additional information.
