I appreciated this movie on some different levels. But I ultimately found that the story seemed a little too incomplete for my taste. I don't necessarily mind a movie being a "slice of life". It's just there wasn't enough in the movie to…

I was blown away by what a great acting job Charlize Theron did. The movie is often uncomfortable to watch, but very well-done.

Mavis Gary is not likable--in fact, she can be considered a terrible person. After getting an email from an ex-boyfriend, she decides that he is unhappy, "a hostage" in his suburban life with his newborn infant and wife, and she decides to…

People seem mad that they thought this was a comedy and it's not. Perhaps read a review or two first? "Young Adult" is from director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody, the team behind the inexplicably popular "Juno." Those…

This is the ultimate feel bad movie. You will hate Charlize Theron's character. You will feel ridiculously uncomfortable for long stretches of this movie. You will want to cover your eyes during some key scenes toward the end. That said,…

It is quite a challenge to find something positive to say about this movie. I like Oscar winner Charlize Theron but she needs to start being more selective about her projects.

Love Charlize Theron & Patton Oswalt, but this was painful to watch. Uncomfortably bad. I tried to get through it, hoping that the ending would provide some redemption... NOPE.

Terrible movie. Nothing redeemable about it. Kept trying to give it a chance... But it remained consistently a waste of time in the end.

This actually turned out to be a fairly depressing movie. Not that it wasn't good, but it wasn't the movie I expected. Worth watching though.

This film is an interesting take on arrested development. It's not completely unheard of for a villain to be a hero (for example, Gone with the Wind and The Social Network show horrible characters in the spotlight), but for the most part,…

Dark humor and a bit sad story. There are many movies about men who doesn't want to grow up this one is about woman. How far you can go to reach your fantasy? Can you change past?

I was a little disappointed in the beginning because I thought this was a comedy but then started to get involved in the weirdness of Mavis, wonderfully acted by Charlize Theron, her obsession with her old boyfriend and her rose coloured…

Charlize Theron delivers an oscar worthy performance in Young Adult.

Cringe. Cringeworthy. These words appear more than once in the comments her, and I believe aptly describe the film. I enjoyed it, but didn't love it. I loved Juno, but I am starting to grow tired of Diablo Cody. But, this is a…

DREADFUL!! I thought this movie would be a story of growing up and or coming of age. This story is not about a simple immaturity. The character Mavis is seriously disturbed! Needs a major pscycological intervention. I wouldnt…

Surprizingly good film about a beautiful but unsuccessful and aging woman lacking in morality, self-knowledge and empathy. Charlize Theron is certainly an adventurous actress who succeeds admirably here.

The description described this as a comedy, but it was sad and depressing, not very funny at all. Would not recommend.

Have you ever seen a slow moving train wreck? One where you see the train, and you turn your head and see a child standing on the tracks? Well that child is Mavis Gary (perfectly protrayed by Charlize Theron) who never quite grew up from…

I so wanted this movie to work. It didn't. Doesn't. Something just isn't right about this thing. It should have been an 'important' movie and probably sounded that way in pre-production meetings. But, it misses greatness by a mile. Some…

I personally enjoyed this movie a lot. The acting was great, the style of shooting this film was great, the writing was great and the best of all were the characters. Mavis (the main character) were destructive to herself, unhappy, and…

This is definitely a divisive movie: either you love it or hate it. I happen to have loved Young Adult. This pitch black comedy from Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman explores what happens to people who never truly grow up and move on from…

From the team that brought us "JUNO" I was hoping for a lot better. Charlize is great. She's a wonderful actress. But the script was lame. Unfortunately the subject matter of a 40 year old who never matured isn't interesting. It may…

Enjoyed the movie and thought the acting was well done.
