YOUNG ADULT

Young Adult - I'm not sure who else besides the reviewers, me and some of my friends (Brenda, Sue, Kathy?) will like this movie, but I loved it. For some reason I identified with Mavis and her messed up life, because that's what you're getting here, the story of a 37 year old woman's messed up life. It's not too terribly messed up, (to me; she's savable) but it's not all happy family and kids, champagne and roses either. Charleze is beautiful and just lets herself be this nutty depressed alcoholic woman and plays it well. I love when I have a lot to do but decide to escape to an afternoon movie, and then that movie was worth it.
