Young Adult

Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron) is the ultimate mean girl, who’s returned to her hometown of Mercury, Minnesota, determined to snag her high school boyfriend (Patrick Wilson). The only problem? He’s now happily married with a new baby. From the Juno team of screenwriter Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman, this is a likable but odd character portrait packed with ironic laughs, painful honesty and observations. Daring, different and uncomfortably funny.
