Magnificent performance from Charlize Theron as thirty something ex-prom queen and all round self centred borderline psychopath Mavis, who returns to her small town home town in an insane plan to 'rescue' her high school sweetheart Patrick Wilson after he sends her an email announcement of his new baby. Juno-scribe Diablo Cody's brilliantly acidic script, and Theron's unflinchingly bitchy performance combine to make Young Adult a wonderfully feel-bad movie! No sentimental lessons learned, no softening of Mavis at all and a great cynical ending. However, it's not funny enough to be a comedy and not quite a drama either - it's an original!
I also liked her Mini, but was upset it didn't survive the film unscathed!! She must be a cow, she didn't take car of her Cooper! Bit of doggie neglect too come to think of it...

Lovely film telling the story of nun Audrey Hepburn, her work in the Belgian Congo, her doubts and her eventual decision about her future as a nun. The setting and characters are engaging, and Hepburn is excellent under her wimple! Crusty old Peter Finch is also good.
