Young Adult

Charlize Theron

This was written by Diablo Cody and directed by Jason Reitman...the team that gave us the successful Juno. This film doesn't come close to that one in appeal. It's an attempted black comedy about a 37 yo self-centered prom queen who learns that her high school sweetheart has ended up with a better life...so she goes back home to screw his up.

Asinine premise...unpleasant to watch. CT hit the right notes for her character but the setup worked against her. Not funny. At all. Or amusing. Just unpleasant. An unnecessary ordeal for the viewer.
