Young Adult (2011)

[A Boring & Predictable Movie]

Young Adult (2011)
IMDB-7
RottenTomatoes-82
RJG Rating-45

Mavis ,a writer ,returns to her hometown to win back her ex-boyfriend ,who by the way is a happily married man.

Starring- Charleze Theron
Director- Jason Reitman

Jason's 4th movie after the charming Thank-You For Smoking ,Juno & Up In the Air...Unfortunately Young Adult fails to charm like the previous 3...

Charleze gives a fine performance as the lead..The supporting cast was also quite good..

Story is what's missing..Its a very simple plot disguised as a very philosophical movie of sorts..Another weakness is its highly predictable end...

The ending also failed to tighten up the loose ends of the characters..
The movie is a dark-comedy..There are scenes of humour,but Jason R isnt able to deliver them..

The movie may appeal to serious viewers but not for all..

Acting-4/5
Story-2.5/5
Direction-3/5
Drama-2.5/5
