“Writer Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman defy the sophomore slump with Juno follow-up Young Adult, an unconventional homecoming dramedy starring Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron. Voted best hair in high school, Mavis Gary (Theron) left her small town for fame and fortune in the "Mini-Apple." Now 30-something, divorced, and orbiting the teen-angst universe she writes about in her once-popular Waverly Prep young adult series, Mavis has delusions that her high school sweetheart, who recently sent her a birth announcement, is secretly pining for her. Returning home to save him, Mavis finds he might not be the one that needs rescuing. Cody's script refreshes an often predictable formula while comedian Patton Oswalt flexes his dramatic chops as Matt, Mavis' crippled counterpart, and Theron demonstrates her acting maturity as the salty pariah suffering from Peter Pan syndrome.”
