Young Adult

Drama, Dry Comedy
4 stars
Good movie starring Charlize Theron as an author of young adult books who never really grew up herself. Once she learns her old high school beau (Patrick Wilson) is married with a baby on the way, she decides to try to win him back (Elizabeth Reaser as Wilson’s wife). She is the only one oblivious to how insane her quest is. Though the results are predictable, it’s a good ride. Very good acting, especially by Patton Oswalt as the guy Theron confides in. A little dark, but good.
