Young Adult

Canadian director Jason Reitman reunited with writer Diablo Cody for this keenly observed character study. A writer who seems to have it all returns to her small hometown to win back her high school sweetheart who's happily married with a newborn child. After their breakthrough hit with "Juno" which was about a mature teenager, Reitman and Cody explore the immaturity of an adult with this dark comedy. Charlize Theron bares her soul with another terrific performance opposite Patton Oswalt who also shines as her kindred spirit with his own demons. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
