Young adult is the first collaboration between director jason reitman and screenwriter diablo cody since the success of their juno (2007). Once again they center on a woman, but juno was enormously likable and mavis seems unaware of her frightening effect on people. young adult is rated r (under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Harsh language, bad sex, unpleasant situations grown-up stuff, in other words. With charlize theron, patrick wilson, patton oswalt, elizabeth reaser.
