Young Adult

Ah Charlize Theron. Gorgeous and talented. This movie is from Diablo Cody of Juno fame. I have to say Charlize shines in this movie. Her crudeness and as a matter of fact attitude reminds me of Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher another hilarity of this year.  I watched this movie while I was a bit tired but it woke me up. I felt bad for Theron because she was in fact acting like a young adult trying to redeem her previous high school glory. Although it is clear that she is in fact better off in certain lights than the people she is trying to compete with this is not clear to her. A ghost write for a young adult series that is coming to close Theron is ruthless, mean and endearing at the same time. This is someone whose life seems great to those in her new society but an invitation to her high school sweetheart's baby shower sets in motion a chain of events.  This movie rings a bell with myself and I think a lot of people can relate. Here is a woman who has achieved so much in her life but with her standards nothing compares to her glory days of high school when she in fact had everything. A athlete boyfriend, popularity and more.  I recommend this movie because I understand where her character comes from of course I would not do 3 quarter of the things she does in this movie as I think she is close to a mental breakdown. But I have to say that if one of exes who I still spoke to (bad idea) sent me an invitation to their baby shower I would freak to but my meltdown would need to happen very far away from that person. Go for the laughs and to see Theron shine.
