Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Dr_Sagan Well, she might have a mental illness. People in her old county already know it and accept it and look at her with condescension...That's the bottom line of this movie. But is also confusing because in the end she seems to get better because of some pep talk...Sorry for starting abruptly this "review" but the whole premise beginning from the title (even the trailer) is more like the life of an immature, spoiled person who has used to make things go her way. Now that I watched it, I found it confusing.Anyway the movie is not that fun. Basically some awkward situations including a short love making between cripple midget ...Patton Oswalt and one of the most beautiful women around. Also the scene is disturbing because obviously Oswalt he is taking advantage of her situation.Overall: Didn't like it. Only for Theron's fans.

nanagodzilla-763-761395 If your high school sweetheart was stolen by the prom queen years ago, this is a really feel-good movie to you.Young Adult is bold enough NOT to have a happy ending or silver lining, Charlize Theron is brave to take an unlikable, narcissistic and almost pathetic lead role. Diablo Cody's screenplays reminds me Tennessee Williams: the lead characters are shattered, ruined, and finally must face the broken mirror, their bad choices made and their own flaws.Back to the film itself, I like some of the brilliant touch-ups: Buddy is not Mr. Nice either, he does not care about what happened to Matt. Matt's sister may have flattered Mavis only for getting a chance to leave Mercury. Does Mavis still love Buddy? No way, it is not about the old flame, it is about desperately trying to get back her glorious teenage years and what she could have had. But eventually you would feel sorry for Mavis' loss and failure. C'est la vie. If Juno, the teenage pregnant girl written by Diablo Cody, turned 37 years old, she could be Mavis and this film just needs to add a scene: she watched her 20 years old son/daughter in a distance, turned around and left in the rain.

Ben Parker Mavis (Charlize Theron) is a successful author of young adult novels who hears her old high school squeeze is happily married with a baby, so she decides she wants to get him back.Its a riff on My Best Friend's Wedding, a riff on fame and the classic fish out of water story, but I love it. I've never met anyone else who likes it. First of all, I love that the opening credits take place inside a cassette tape player. I find Mavis to be unlikeable but fascinating to watch. She is an excellent portrait, well written by Diablo Cody, well crafted by Charlize Theron and Jason Reitman. She's a good example of an unreliable narrator. We don't get them in movies too often. Basically, she'll tell you things, and you shouldn't necessarily listen to her. The things she's saying are not what the filmmakers are saying. I like it. 8/10

Mr-Fusion "Young Adult" is the sort of movie that I desperately wished for a happy ending, some kind of closure to end things on an up note. Charlize Theron has undeniable acting chops and does wonders with the character, but I just wanted to wring her neck at every turn - which makes it a tough 85 minutes to trudge through when you hate the main character. It's not even like the material hit too close to him. I just can't abide hateful people like Mavis Gary. And then it just ends. She hears what she wants to hear and then decides to head home. That's it.The silver lining here is Patton Oswalt, whose tragic character acts as Theron's conscience and he's easily the film's winning feature.But I won't be coming back to this. It's too uncomfortable with no reward.4/10
