A: A Young Adult novelist, who used to be popular in high school (Charlize Theron) and hasn't evolved since then at all, returns to her home town 20 years later to try to nab her high school boyfriend (Patrick Wilson) who just had a baby with his wife (Elizabeth Reaser).
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Charlize Theron, Patton Oswalt, Patrick Wilson, Elizabeth Reaser, Collette Wolfe, Hettienne Park, Brian McElhane, Jill Eikenberry
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Proceed with Caution. While the dialogue reminds us why we fell in love with Diablo Cody, and the pacing reminds us why Jason Reitman's films so far have been 3 for 3, the story itself is fairly unimportant in every way possible.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: If you like dark and dry, this will have you laughing in that way that only dark and dry can-- silently, so that nobody can hear how f'd up you are.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: Possibly at the sex scene at the end. It is consensual and at the same time extremely sad.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: In yet another one-man show character story, Charlize is aiming at Oscar number two. I'd nominate her.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: Patrick Wilson, in a role that looks like nothing, is the one I was most impressed with. There is a deceptive simplicity to his role, so don't be deceived.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: There's no question that Jason Reitman is one of the most significant rising directors of his generation. That remains true in this, his least entertaining movie to date.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: The point of the script is that nobody cares about pretty girls anymore. The problem with the script is that nobody cares about pretty girls anymore.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: Young Adult Trailer
