Charlize Theron is a recently divorced, soon to be unemployed YOUNG ADULT ghost writer, who’s looking for something to do other than watch endless hours of reality garbage on E!.  So instead of facing her own pathetic reality, she returns to her jane average Minnesota hometown to dig up her old high school fantasy – re-capture the heart of her hunky former flame Patrick Wilson and live happily ever after.  Big problem – he’s married (to perky clean 5-headed Elizabeth Reaser) and has a newborn baby.  You know that this quest is thighly questionable and has a 9999% chance of not ending well.  Either she steals her former man and breaks a home OR she fails and destroys everything she touches.  Enjoy!!

Hactually, at times, the restrained Jason Reitman directed / Diablo Cody written film (‘restrained’ is a word we never expected to use to describe ANYTHING either of these two wacky kids have done did do) is enjoyable – Theron goes cruel angry on everyone and it’s funny & Patton Oswalt goes gimpy spiteful and it’s delightful, but there’s almos too much bleakness abound, and this runaway train has only one destination – DESTRUCTIONVILLE!!!!  And when we actually get there, it’s kinda like oh, OK, now what’s suppose to happen, and then the movie ends, with not much accomplished eggcept showing off Charlize’s ability to make us laugh, which we guess is OK, but where’s the hamburger phone gagging us with a bloggerino?  NOT!!!

moral of the story: Young Adult is the least annoying, pretentiousousousous, and diarrheaed-dialoged movie Reitman or Cody has ever been involved in, and yet it’s a fragmented frumpy un-fairy tale of cut downs and not much up-dogs.  What does that mean?  No idea.  Better question – is the Diablo honeymoon over?  Yes.  She won an Oscar for blogging about teens using hamburger phones, and hasn’t been able to top that thus far…  although we didn’t find Hamburger Phone Blogging: The Movie all that tops to begin with.  moral of this paragraph?  We’d probably rather watch Agent Cody Banks than something by Diablo Cody.  Maybe?

Hold The Phone: who wants a freaking hamburger phone when you can have a…

HAMBURGER BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
