Young Adult Movie Story Line:- There are some things in life, which you just have to get over, and if you choose not to, you might end up in the biggest mess of your life! High school sweethearts are definitely somewhere up there on that list. For Mavis Gary, who is the ‘young adult’ in this movie, even though life might have moved on, and she might be expected to behave like an adult, her heart and soul are still back in her hometown. Reckless as she is, she is ready to go back to the life that she left behind, and give it a second chance. Academy award winning actress, Charlize Theron, portrays the character of Mavis in the movie, and does it to perfection. In fact, the actress’ performance is one great reason, why you should watch Young Adult online! The movie marks the second collaboration between director Jason Reitman, and writer Diablo Cody; the first being Juno. The character of Mavis in the film is shown to be a carefree teen literature writer, who makes the rash decision of abandoning her big city life, and returning to her small hometown. She then begins to pursue her one-time love interest, Buddy, who is now married with children. Her life takes a strange twist, when she instead, finds herself getting close to another classmate, Matt, who is also going through the same emotions of high school nostalgia, as she is. The movie is a wonderful merge of comedy and drama, which will make you fall in love with its characters, and want them to come back after the credits roll.

Young Adult Movie Review:- This film really drags through the first 45 minutes. The story line is boring mostly and quite dark. But then our human existence is ofttimes like that. Is it worth spending 45 minutes looking at Charlize Theron who doesn't always look beautiful and is often drunk? Of course its worthwhile! Critics have already forecast that her role may result in a second Oscar for the beautiful South African.
If you can persevere through the first half of the film without walking out, you will be treated to an amazing performance by Theron!
In a confrontation with family, friends and ex-boyfriend, a drunk Theron screams her regret and pain for having an abortion 20 years earlier. Angst that she has held inside for 20 years has essentially stunted her emotional growth. It's a masterful job of acting and brings us into the depths of her soul and regret at destroying her unborn son. surprising message from Hollywood that has so long been dominated by progressive/liberal/permissives.
it is a rare occasion when Hollywood allows such an accurate yet painful depiction of such a controversial subject. I congratulate and thank the writers, director and producer for putting it all out there. it's about time we started dealing with the truth in these matters and stop the cover-up.
Film is from the director and writer combo who brought you Juno, Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody. And thank you Charlize for such an intense and realistic performance!
