Young Adult is director Jason Reitman's first film since Up in the Air and it reunites him with his Juno screenwriter, Diablo Cody. It stars Charlize Theron as Mavis Gary, a former prom queen; you know, the girl who was too popular, too pretty and more often than not, way too bitchy to live. She's a semi-successful writer of teen literature who, following a divorce, returns to her hometown to relive her glory days and attempt to reclaim her happily married high school sweetheart (Patrick Wilson). When returning home proves more difficult than she thought, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate (Patton Oswalt) who hasn’t quite gotten over high school, either.

Frankly, I like the sound of this. I think Diablo Cody has probably been able to amp up the sharp dialogue and the snark we first got a taste of in Juno. Despite the title, these are adults and not teens, after all. Young Adult also stars Elizabeth Reaser and J.K. Simmons will open in limited release December 9th and expand nationwide a week later, on December 16th in the US and 10 February in the UK.
