"Young Adult" - In a Nutshell

"Wonderfully written, multi-layered character study of a flawed female who cannot escape the mindset of her high school years. Theron is magnetic as the deeply confused author turned homewrecker in this slow-burn dramedy that bubbles with ironic wit".

Cinema Synopsis:

The director and writer of Juno (Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, respectively) re-team for this comedy-drama about a woman returning home in order to relive her high school glory years. Mavis (Charlize Theron, Monster) is a cynical, successful writer of teenage fiction who returns to her small home town to win back her high school crush: Buddy (Patrick Wilson, Insidious), now happily married and with kids. Buddy isn't particularly willing though, and having been roundly despised at school, Mavis doesn't find support with her old chums and the plans go awry. But she manages to get assistance from one former classmate (Patton Oswalt, The Informant!) who hasn't quite gotten over his high school years either.
