David Baruffi97(full review)
Dan O'Neill90 - Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman re-team once again for Young Adult and make it not only a funny, if uncomfortable comedy, but also a realistic and slightly moving story anchored by one of Theron’s best performances she’s given in a long time.

CinemaVisitor Erik75 - Bittersweet drama/comedy about a woman trying to find happiness in an old high-school boyfriend. Very likeable but more depressing than funny
