What if our high school system was just so competitive as that in the United States

What if our high school system was just so competitive as that in the United States? Suppose we had elections that we koppeltje popular school for Prom King and Queen topped or the most wisecracking student gave the title Class President? Then Dutch puberego were magnified up and we'd all learn early to cope with the competitive society in which we live. Probably was therefore in your classroom someone like Mavis Gary, a popular bitch who grows into a bitter bitch.

Mavis (Charlize Theron) sits in her apartment in Minneapolis, writing in the final part in a series Twilight-like teen books in which she relives her heyday. Earlier, in high school, Mavis was in fact popular, sought after and simply fantastic. Now she is a bit lonely and it seems that they're not going to be happier than she was during her adolescent years (though they likely would put her favorite Hello Kitty shirt on fire before that one of them would admit it). When she finds out that her boyfriend from high school, Buddy (Patrick Wilson), had a child, she decides to go back to the village where she spent her childhood. But not to close a chapter and her ex-boyfriend to wish you a good life, no, she wants to win the happily married Buddy. Because yes, is married with a child? That's according to Mavis about are the same as hostage.

Let's stand up and applaud Charlize Theron. We got her to miss some time on the big screens, but she's back with a vengeance. Her performances in both Prometheus and Snow White and the Huntsman were impressive, but let Young Adult Theron really see why the film world was a smaller place during her absence. The way they Mavis the world around her, lets look with a condescending arrogance, an expression that switches instantly to idolatrous admiration when Buddy appears in her view, is hypnotic. Charlize Theron as Mavis is a frightening, mentally ill person, but also childish and pathetic. You will not forget this bitch ...

That's what you sympathize not only with Charlize Theron with the smug Mavis owes its action; its interplay with Patton Oswalt as the disabled Matt Freehauf is equally important. Matt used to be the opposite of Mavis: an outcast, a loser, a nerd. But now they meet again years later, they share a hatred of humanity that gives very funny dialogues. For although it will not be readily apparent, Young Adult is in his heart a comedy. A whole black, dreary comedy, though, and one that every joke seems to have a deeper meaning, but although you'll laughter unlikely you will make a chuckle and to suppress difficult. Mavis's crazy, infantile outlook on life namely delivers extremely uncomfortable situations with the people in her life. And hey, awkward is the new cool, right?

Diablo Cody, the writer who out of nothing the world by surprise with the wisecracking script for Juno and her fame practically flushed down the toilet when they succeeded with this little fascinating Jennifer's Body, has put itself back on the map with Young Adult. It is, after all, is not easy to write a subtle comedy about a bitch of a wife. The humor will therefore for some are just too subtle something and others will not like the bitter, depressed aftertaste to this film. The fact that the structure of the story has nothing in common with the average rom-com or ordinary comedy, Young Adult making a film for a specific audience. For anyone who has ever let his eyes roll an overly excited, too positive person. For anyone who has had such a bitch like Mavis in the classroom, despite our less performance-oriented school system. If you've been such a bitch ... er, then it might be a bit too confrontational.

Extras:
A fairly interesting commentary by the filmmakers for the biggest enthusiasts, a fairly standard "Making Of ..." documentary, a Q & A with director Josan Rietman and some short Deleted Scenes. The most interesting extra is The Awful Truth-: Deconstructing the Scene, in which you are one of the cutest scenes can watch the film with supporting documents from the script, complete with funny outtakes. All in all a pretty interesting but slightly standard package.
