Young Adult

This movie explores the ideas behind what it means to grow up and mature.  At first I thought it was going to be a comedy, but really I would consider it more of a drama.  Charlize Theron deserves props for being both annoying and repulsive yet oddly endearing at the same time.  Throughout the film you wonder about her delusions, why she is the way she is and if something actually might be wrong with her.  But the scary part comes when it dawns on you that there are many, many people out there in the real world that are exactly like her.  I wouldn't necessarily consider this a great film, but it is a great character study.
