Director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody hit it big in 2007 with Juno, the story of a pregnant teen and her unborn baby's potential adoptive parents. Now, the two have teamed up again for Young Adult, the story of Mavis Gary, a ghostwriter for a young adult book series, who abandons her wrecked life in Minneapolis to travel back to her small hometown to win back her high school sweetheart, Billy Slade. Charlize Theron gives her all to portray the unlikable, failed seducer.
Now playing in theaters, Young Adult co-stars Patton Oswalt, Patrick Wilson, Elizabeth Reaser, and Collette Wolfe. Read Beck Ireland's review.
