Contender: 'Young Adult'

'Young Adult'The "Juno" tag team of Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman reunite for "Youthful Adult," and also the duo's reteaming instantly demands attention.It might be a hardship on the pic, which stars Charlize Theron like a Ontario fiction author who yearns to reunite together with her senior high school boyfriend, to equal the huzzahs produced for "Juno" -- the film that elevated both Cody and Reitman's careers -- place the pair's pedigree can not be overlooked.Cody won an Oscar on her "Juno" script and Reitman was nominated for direction, too for creating the very best pic nom. Reitman, actually, has directed four thesps to Oscar-nommed performances: Ellen Page, George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick.Theron is yet another Oscar vet, getting been nominated for "North Country" and winning for "Monster." As with 2004's "Monster," Theron is frequently not even close to glamorous in "Youthful Adult," sometimes cast inside a physically unflattering light to be able to offer her character a feeling of both desperation and exhaustion.Prone to earn strong person to person may be the supporting performance of Patton Oswalt, whose character continues to be disabled carrying out a harrowing incident when he would be a teen. Actor was overlooked in the well-examined 2009 indie "Large Fan" and could have more serious attention here.Release date: 12 ,. 9Paramount Contact Stuart Levine at stuart.levine@variety.com
