Young Adult

Teen lit writer and one-time prom queen Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron) returns home determined to recapture her fading glory by winning back her married high school sweetheart. But her unlikely plan sends Mavis life spiralling further out of control, until she forms an unlikely bond with another old classmate who forces her to face adulthoods harsh realities.

Critics rave this darkly hilarious film from Academy Award-winning Writer Diablo Cody and Academy Award nominated director Jason Reitman is brilliant and brave (A.O. Scott, The New York Times).
