Young Adult (2011)
Directed by Jason
Reitman and written by Diablo Cody this film stars Charlize Theron,
Patton Oswalt and Patrick Wilson. A writer who has just had her
series of books cancelled travels to her home town to steal her high
school boyfriend back from his wife.
There is some real
darkness about both the protagonist and the comedy of this film that
is both entertaining and a break from the usual. Certainly there is
plenty of fun to be had watching this film as the protagonist heads
towards the inevitable car crash conclusion but I am not sure about
the ending. The plot works well right up to the final moments when
unfortunately it seems that the final scenes are really unsatisfying
and provide no real growth or closure.
3/5
