Young Adult
Soon after her divorce, a fiction writer returns to her home in small-town Minnesota, looking to rekindle a romance with her ex-boyfriend, who is now happily married and has a newborn daughter.
Jason Reitman directed one of my favourite movies, Juno, so I had high expectations for this. fortunately, Young Adult is a very good movie. Charlize Theron give a convincing performance as the main protagonist, Mavis Gary, the complete bitch you went to high school with who's a little crazy. Their are some hilarious moments and great dialogue. Patton Oswalt as Matt Freehaur, the fat nerdy guy who was beaten with crowbars for been gay when he actually wasn't, has a lot of chemistry with Theron's character. Patrick Wilson is also great as Buddy Slade, her ex-boyfriend now married and a new father that she's trying to win back. Young Adult is a comedy-drama that I would tell everyone to watch.
