These kind of stories about loosers dont get made a lot. NOT a crowd pleaser. Dont think for a second you will get to see Charlize Theron in any kind of hot or glamorous scenes. She plays a character that is dead inside. Mentally scarred for life. But she is unaware of it. She is about to find out though when she revisits her old highschool friends.Some movies are simply a kick in my gut. This is one of those. I would not recommend it to any of my friends who want to be entertained. BUT if one wants to see a really true to life story about PAIN and ISOLATION then this is the movie for you..."Enjoy..."

"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

Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt are the best things about this film! "Alcohol is an enemy" maybe I can make that my own famous quote if I become a famous writer. A lot of important interesting stories about life experiences, poured out and flourished wonderfully; dramas like this are one of a kind. Jason Reitman is a heartwarming Director, I appreciate his projects.
